Geekzilla, I'm sorry it has taken so long a response. I have been very busy with work lately and haven't had time to be on the computer much at all. I understand your feelings about weight. I am also overweight and find it is the thing I obsess about the most. It is very depressing to look at myself in the mirror and I know that most of my problems and feelings are because of these thoughts about my weight. It impacts so many areas of your life. I too have been depressed for as long as I can remember. I don't even remember a time as a child that I can look back and say I was so happy when... I understand your feelings about medication, but if you can find a doctor who is really willing to work with you and find the right combination, medication for us isn't any different that insulin for a diabetic. Please keep me posted on how you're doing. Kelly

Geekzilla, You've come to the right place! Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "PROGRAM TOOLS" you'll find our Depression Test. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. If you ever have any questions or concerns please click the "CONTACT US" link at the bottom of the page. We're open to any questions or concerns you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Melanie __________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team

Hi, I am new also. There sure do seem to be a lot of people signing up today. :) The bright sunshine here has made me want to get out of the house and the depressed mood that has taken root. (again!) I have been depressed off and on for as long as I can remember. I know I am depressed, and I had been on medication before. I don't want to take anything because of the side effects I experienced last time. Also, the associated weight gain made me feel even worse. So, here I am, it's Spring and it seems like a good time to make a new start. I am quite overweight, which is both a cause and symptom of my problems. Honestly, the body image/weight thing is my biggest issue. It makes me sad and scared to leave the house. I desparately want to feel better and enjoy my life. Thanks for listening. Hopefully I will be a bit more positive as I move through this program.
