I definitely recommend you going to a therapist of some sort because it's their job to help you and how to deal with what's going on. It really has helped me learn and deal with what I have. For medication purposes I used to be on klonopin which was great for short term anxiety and I'm still on zoloft. Depending on what they give you zoloft helps increase your serotonin levels and other drugs do things differently.

I am actually currently on Klonopin for Anxiety (those on the 360 are MORE than aware when I take it however). and Prozac for depression, although that is being changed soon as it hasn't done anything for me. Tried Celexa for years also to no avail.

I actually have three different therapy outlets I can use. A regular therapist that I see bi-weekly (Need a new one though, as my current one is leaving the practice), a depression support group that meets Monday mornings, and a 12 step meeting that meets Friday afternoons at the clinic that I did a partial hospitalization program at for almost 3 weeks in May.

Is mostly the time inbetween all that that is hard to fill. I have my OK days as well, but over the past few I've found myself finally able to let go a little and speak how I really feel. Got 1 hard conversation out of the way yesterday, and have 2 more to go that I really feel I need to make, but hopefully it is progress. I am hurting badly, but banking on the fact that hurting now will help later. It's a risk, but at least I'm trying, and if it backfires, hopefully I'll be in a position where I can try again. But I realize it's a long road, I'm just struggling much more than I thought I ever could.
