I am sorry that you're feeling depressed, and I can totally relate to you. I think someone mentioned health problems, is that what is making you depressed?
I have had issues with depression the last few years due to health problems. I have been taking Paxil for awhile now, and that helps so much. I honestly didn't even realize I was depressed at first, but my family and my dr. saw it. I didn't even want to try the Paxil, I just didn't feel that I needed it. But, I gave it a try and what a difference! Now I can look back and realize just how depressed I was. I still have times when I feel down, but times like that don't last long. I try to find the positive in everything.
If it's not too personal, can I ask what health problems you are having? The reason I ask is because there are many good online support groups where you can talk to people who feel as you do. I have Crohn's Disease, and I joined a support group/message board. I got to know several women my age, and I found I had alot in common with them, and we were all having basically the same health issues. Now we have our own small group, and we have talked on the phone, sent books and cards to each other, and just supported each other through the bad times. There is one woman who doesn't live too far from me, and we are planning to have lunch together sometime soon.
If you ever need to talk, just let me know. I know how it feels, and it helps if you know you're not alone. Take care.
