Sorry you are feeling so crappy, tz90. I have bipolar disorder and have been in a depressive episode for about a year. No antidepressants helped me but ECT finally changed my depression from severe to mild. In other words, it STILL exists. I have faith, however, that some day it will go away.

While I don't know your history, diagnosis, etc., I would think - - especially if you avail yourself of a consultation with a psychiatrist and receive counseling - - that your depression should improve, if not go away, too. At least I hope so.
