maybe it would help to talk to someone like a therapist

meds alone won't bring relief from depression, but in partnership with therapy, you can beat depression

You have the best chance of beating depression by talking to a therapist in addition to your taking your meds.

It's a really scary time when you can't stop crying.I began seeing a psychologist (as well as increasing meds and adding new ones.) I found it really helpful talking to someone experienced who can work out why I'm crying. Hang in there-it WILL stop

i think its a good idea having a therapist as well as the meds. i couldn't have got through without either

I agree. Get in touch with a therapist and hang in there. It does pass. It's not easy. Talk to someone you trust about it if you can.

Its a really scary time- but a therapist will help you get to the bottom of things. What happens when you come off the medication or become immune to it? You will revert back if you havent resolved your feelings and understanding of how you got into the depression in the first place. That's what my doctor adviced anyway!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
