Hi Ren,
I found Babble three years ago in search of information on committing suicide. That I'm still here shows how helpful this site is.
Meds help. Therapy helps. Recently getting a job that uses my brain really helps my depression, anxiety and all that ails me.
Once your insurance kicks in, start the search for a pdoc who can help you find the right med. I see a pdoc who is a psychopharmacologist and I initially balked at taking an antipsychotic (Seroquel) for my chronic insomnia. I'm actually sorry I refused to try it for so many months because it works.
I'm dysthymic so on some level I'm always depressed, but right now I'm feeling the best I've felt in year. Don't give up on yourself.
Welcome to Babble. You'll like it here.
