Hang in there. There are times when therapy seems like it just isn't going anywhere, and it's maddening. I would try to speak with your T and explain your frustrations. I would also do the same with your pdoc. It doesn't help when you are not feeling great to have someone tell you that you are feeling better. That's more of a cognitive call. Maybe you need some tweaking in the meds department. Depression robs me of all pleasure and sometimes when I start to get in a bad funk (providing I'm not already there) I tell myself the improvements I have made, however small. Financial problems are a bummer (I have them too) but remember they can't bleed money from a stone. You only have what you have and there's not a whole lot that you can do about it. I think that's just acceptance or something like that. Also keep in mind if your really depressed, everything begins to take on epic proportions. I'd keep going to therapy and just put one foot in front of the other. You can do it.
