As far as meds go, I have been on five different meds in one year. I am still basically depressed. Most of these meds did not work so well. Effexor may have worked but it made me sleep all the time. Buspar, which is supposed to be for anxiety, gave me anxiety and made my heart race. Wellbutrin seems to be working the best so far but I still have days when I feel down and hopeless. I could not afford a therapist, though that would probably be helpful. Now I just try to manage one day at a time. I don't know what else to do. Thanks for this forum.
