[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 358109"] I agree, take it. Trust your doctor. If he or she prescribed it, chances are excellent that they saw a real need. However, it is best for you to be doing other things that might help with anxiety and/or depression. Doing things you like to do for one. Re-discover yourself and give yourself permission to enjoy life. Also...eat right, get in a little exercise, a little socialization, etc. Sure, it might not be easy, but push a little. It will be well worth it in the end. You are taking the first excellent step by getting to the doctor. You should be proud of yourself. If you haven't done so already, fill the prescription and start taking it. One thing at a time. Perhaps start exercising next. What about two times a week for now? Then, move it to three times a week? Do you have a good friend you might call to do something fun? Think about it. Give it a try. If you feel you need someone to talk to, more guidance or your depression is severe....please see a therapist. It is so helpful!!!!! You asked how some of us keep a "positive perspective?" Well, I think it is a little bit of severa things: re-learning self love...and partly detachment, healthy distraction, acceptance and faith. It took a long time to get to this place. I personally had to do a lot of work...but was willing to do it and am very glad that I did. Wishing you well...there is light at the end of this tunnel. [/QUOTE]
