how long have u been on your meds ? this is my 2nd round of depression, things do get better in the sense that you learn to live day by day and things 'normalize'. medication helps a lot and depending on what u are on, it will take about 3 weeks to a month for their full effect. counseling helps, I wouldn't have gotten out if it without a psych. finding out the cause is important. did anything happen to u that caused the depression? knowing the cause I think is helping me this time around, u know what you need to control & it gives u hope that u can get through it and survive .

it's hard to do every day things, work in bits. taking a shower or brushing ur teeth are achievements. I would question what's the point? and get sad again . but try not to do that. every time u do that one action. slowly it becomes routine and then you'll see it getting a bit normal with time because it becomes automatic, like a reflex.

in terms of anxiety, I'm not sure. I am feeling it too. which didn't happen last time. r u taking anxiety medication or just anti depressants? if just anti depressants, can u talk to the doctor about taking something for that ?
