I was diagnosed with anxiety/depression over 20 yrs ago. It's the stuff that stays with me all the time. I don't like feeling depressed and not being able to function so I've been on several anit-depressant during those 20+ years. Also went through therapy for over 10 yrs but that's because of other problems. Guess you could say they contributed to my anxiety/depression.

What I have to say to anyone who has depression is that you don't have to live that way! Get help. How it worked for me was to get a therapist to make the diagnosis and then have the T refer you to a pdoc to prescribe the med.

It's really difficult to get up the motivation to do this, especially if you run into waiting for an appointment. Just "put it in neutral" and wait if you have to, but get it done. There's a better life waiting for you!
