Hi, Beepee. I've been reading your thread and I remember those days...I think the first thing you need to do is work on your depression. How long have you been on AD's? I think they take a few weeks to work, but if you've been on them longer than that may need to try something else. It's very weird how the perfect AD for one can do nothing for another, and vice versa. The C helped me a lot. And the people here.
One thing I've learned is when I was depressed in the past I would eat chocolate, wallow in pj's, not see my friends and not do fun stuff or GALing activities. And even to this day when I get depressed, I still start doing that for some reason. I do all the things that are guaranteed to make me even more depressed. But I've learned that for me the best way to get out of it (well yeah the ADs help too), but it's to act as if I'm happy and not depressed. I was depressed earlier this week and I allowed myself one day to do chocolate therapy and wallow in how sad my life is. Then I shower, try to eat healthy, exercise, spend time with friends, and I do volunteer work also, fun GALing stuff. I do that long enough and I feel a little better, then a little better, and I'm back to feeling happy again.
