I really hope the Lexapro works for you. The waiting for a med to start working can be so hard.

Work environment can make such a big difference. Being more isolated and claustrophobic can really take some getting used to especially if you are a very social person. If it doesn't work out can you move to another office?

Lonliness is a tough on. It sounds like you have some good ideas with swimming and going out with your friends. Do you have any hobbies? There are many clubs for different interests and friendships often arise from them. Even taking a walk in the park and the contact with people sometimes helps.

I hope that you start to feel better. It sounds like the problem with your pdoc is also bothering you and I hope it gets resoved soon too.

Take care.
