If you have trouble getting through the day and if you fell like this "thing" has afftected your life, you have a real problem. If you were bothered enough that you went to the doctor you were asking for help with a real problem. I think many MDs treat this kind of thing with medication and you might need that, but research shows that the best results come with a combination of medication and talk therapy. A therapist could help determine if your problem is depression, anxiety, or something else. He or she could also help you decide if you need and want medication. I would ask your physician for a recommendation to a therapist and go talk to someone.
