Before my anxiety was largely under control, I welcomed mild depression. At least the sort that didn't come with anxiety. It gave my poor overstressed body a rest of sorts.
So much of that is biological, sid. Have you consulted your pdoc? I can't tell you how much better I feel on the right combination of meds.
I wish there was a big checklist in my head of things that were best handled by meds, and things that are more purely *psychological* in origin. I'm always changing columns on things. OCD was something I always considered biological. Yet as it became less overwhelming, I was able to see that it came at times that leaves me with a lot of evidence that it serves a purpose to me. I've now got it under a "bit of each" column. Spending is generally considered *psychological*. Yet it operates more or less the same as OCD.
