Hello Irene56,
 
It sounds like you are dealing with some concerning symptoms right now. Good for you for looking for support. That is a very important first step and it takes a lot of courage to get started. Be sure you get a proper assessment and diagnosis. I do not have the ability to diagnose you but some of symptoms you mentioned may or may not be related to other mental health issues or more severe forms of depression. It is extemely important to get a diagnosis in order to ensure you receive proper treatment. What are your thoughts on this?

I'd like to say hi to everyone in support group from wherever you may be :)  My name is Luc and I have been going through depression for Idon't even know when but officially diagnosed about 3 years ago.  Have been taking meds but so far they haven't helped a whole lot.  Last visit with doctor, he upped my dosage again and so far it seems to be having a positive effect, but when they say to by day well today was not a good day.  Come to find out my drug plan through work isn't active and I am completely out of my anxiety pills which in a vicious circle of life causes anxiety.  Have just started reading about this program and find it be very straight forward and written in terms that anyone can understand.  Now to try to share this with my doctor so he really understands what I am going through.  I hope this program works, like the first week steps say, it isnt about how it works, it's about the effort you put into it and I plan on devoting some time into this program so that in the end i can control my depression and live a healthier life.  Hope that all makes sense and again, hello to all and being a big star wars fan: "May the force be with us!!"  :)
