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.

I've been diagnosed with depression, she said it sounded severe. Therapists in my city are working to capacity and don't even accept new patients anymore. I had to wait five months for a first meeting, only to find out that it's not going anywhere. It's like I was able to predict conversations with her beforehand, so it had no effect, I couldn't take her seriously and stopped going. Finding a new one now would take months, maybe up to a year. I always feel like crap calling multiple therapists only to get rejected, wtf. Seems like the whole freaking city has gone mental and needs counseling, it's ridiculous. As for drugs, I haven't taken antidepressants but I took mdma a couple of times. It made me feel a bit better and so I took more and more as soon as the effect ***** off. I'd probably get addicted to be honest.
I'll give the snap thing a try though, sounds interesting.
