I came from Tennessee (God's Country to some of us) to NJ 30 years ago. The culture shock was stunning, and after this long i still think of Tn as "home". However, i eventually adjusted, as you will - as we all do when we have to. There are good and bad things about any place, right? (OK, no NJ jokes here, please.) Anyway - Leanns comments about hormones were right on IMO. Throughout my life (im 53) my depression has been affected by hormonal changes - most significantly pregnancy and menopause. As for what med has helped me, it has been Parnate, an MAOI. Weight loss is common with Parnate. God is there - turn to Him and he will guide you like He always has. Good luck, Melodie
