[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 293323"] A few years back, I also was suffering with- a lot of depression. I had lots of baggage from childhood, but that didn't seem to weigh nearly as heavily upon me as frustrations with- our difficult child. I did find that medication and therapy were very helpful. I also took time to look into other things...big and small that might help me feel better. For example, to this day, I keep fresh flowers in the middle of my living room. It makes me feel good...so I just do it! I agree, keep trying different medications and make sure you are seeing a t-doctor for talk therapy. Look at this quote... "I don't sing because I am happy. I am happy because I sing." To me this means that happiness almost always requires ACTION. Sure, it is tough when we are in the middle of a depression. The lethargy makes it hard to push through. Medication and therapy should help. But any push you can ...inch by inch...to do something...any little thing...toward your good health will pay off nicely in the end. Some ideas....call a friend, read a magazine article, watch a funny TV show, take a little walk after dinner, etc. One more thing...some vitamins/supplements are said to be safe and also help with depression. They include: Fish Oil, D3 and a B50 tablet (also called a B Complext tablet). Wishing you well. [/QUOTE]
