Hi militarywyf!
I really like your smiling avatar. I think it's a good sign for you.
I was just a fairly severe, but garden variety depressive myself. SSRIs didn't really help, but I eventually got the entire thing to dissolve doing this:

I also always feel obliged to point out that there are lots of purely medical issues that are worth checking for. There is a PARTIAL list in post #45 of the above thread. I think a lot of the other posts in "depression success stories" are also very interesting.
