  Hey Bookgal!
Welcome!
I'm new here too... just found this place this past Friday and I already love it and love the people. You will find that everyone lets you just roll off a vent and reads it and you feel like somebody really listened cause somebody will have posted back and they DO 'get' it.    
 
I look forward to getting to know you and us all helping each other in this great life of depression.

Welcome to our support community! If you are looking to be able to navigate through correct and current information regarding depression, alongside receiving help, support and encouragement, you have definitely come to the right place.
Please take the time to read through the program, the session tools and resources that are available to you through the site.
We're here for you, and thank you for offering your support to others as well.
Stay close, and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hi, My nickname is bookgal and I am 32.  Today is my first day on this site. I have been on a leave of absence from my job since April because of my depression. I am seeing a psychologist and a psychiatrist and have become totally frustrated with the system. I feel like I have barely improved, if at all.

On the positive side, I am hopeful that something will happen to help my depression. I just think it will be a matter of time. I am willing to try anything. I just wish navigating through all the information and misinformation about depression was easier.
 
I hope I can help someone else on this board too -- I'm sure we have all been through a lot -- I look forward to talking to people who "get" it.
