Thatgurl, I too was "just depressed"for 6 years! Lots of antidepressants made it worse. Finally after bad episode last month I've got the right diagnosis and started on depakote! Soo much better! Haven't seen a psych doc yet. I have 4 kids and stay home. I'm a med tech and cannot even imagine returning to work in the nursing homes in my current state. This is my first time in a chat site and am very happy to talk to people with same issues. It's hard making friends when people in general don't know how to take you. Glad you're here. Good luck!

No matter how small, a positive change deserves to be celebrated!
