depressed? figures...

DS friends,
     I need your support. I've been struggling for a long time. I have been involved with alot of therapy for a while now, trying to get past some things. In my appointment yesterday I was diagnosed with depression... I basically knew already, but I guess it's different hearing it from a professional. I'm trying to  take steps to get better. I don't like feeling this way, but I can't really help it either. It is what it is. I need advice on how to move forward, and support. I'm not sure I can do this myself. Everything just seems overwhelming.
