In retrospect, I really should have started therapy when I started my medication. It's important that we try to take care of ourselves and deal with our stressers head on. I know there are some stressers that cannot be removed. And depression is the ultimate stresser. When you have time, please keep posting. I truly hope you life improves!
Sincerely, Myst

Thanks for your reply. How did Xanax work for you? I took that years ago but I don't think that it worked that well for me. Maybe I need something new as I probably built up a tolerance to it? Or just a stronger dose of it?

I'll try getting a stronger dose for both meds soon. I sure need it now for than ever with this new job.
