> Krissy - It might help if you told us a little more about yourself. Are you still managing school? Do you have a therapist? Has any drug combo worked for a period. Do you have family or friends who can help you out when you're really down?

> Pretty much everyone here knows first hand how truly isolating depression can be and I think most of the people on this site who suffer from depression, must deal with it as a chronic remitting/relapsing illness. The people who respond optimally to drugs generally don't make their way here. On the other hand, as bad as things can sometimes get for all of us, this can be a wonderfully accepting and supportive community. Please keep posting, now that you're on our radar screen.

> MairI agree with Mair.....I'm here because I don't respond ALL of the time to meds. Exercise helps me tremendously. Have you tried walking and listening to music on a headset? It allows me to just drift and not worry about my depression and such. Then of course it improves my health and etc. etc.....But stay on this board and tell us more.
