Already some great advice on this post. I have struggled with anxiety\depression for about 6-7 years now. I kept putting off seeking help. One day a good friend of mine, who was dealing with some of the same issues, came and we had a long talk. He ask me, "if you had the flu for this long would you keep putting off going to the Dr.?" I said of course not, he said well depression is no different. Its an illness and you need help to get over it. I got on meds, ADs, for awhile and it really helped me. Now I am on no meds and can deal with it on my own. I still have good days\bad days, but I think thats normal. Go talk to your doctor, and start a good exercise program. Depression is NOT to be left untreated!!!
