Hello All,

It's been a while. Depression is a real set back for me. I do have health insurance through my job and had a great psychologist but she left private practice to work for the VA and ironically I'm a Vet that can't see her. But I've been without any type of help for the better part of a year. My insurance went up extremely on my deductible and made it virtually impossible to see anyone this year. Outside of dr's being booked solid. So I have switched to kaiser for the 2015 year simply because it's affordable and they offer dr visits plus groups sessions that I'm interested in. I've never talked about my depression in open groups other than this. But I feel I have to try something because this year has been filled with nothing but lows and I'm at a serious breaking point.

No family that I can confide in about life's pitfalls except an older brother but he's battling depression to. So called friends who stare at me as though speaking Chinese when I discuss how I've been feeling. Or they just simply disregard what I say and talk about them.
