sky: I just started therapy as well, I've delt with depression my whole life, and don't use medication. Recently though it's begun to have too much of an effect: i.e. I'm not even doing the things that I like to do, or taking care of myself nearly as well as I should be and I've been missing work and time with my family because of it, so medication is necessary.
Also, self-medicating with alcohol if you're already depressed is very bad adivice, lol.
SG: I highly value your opinion, so I'd like to hear what you have to say, even if you're not using the same medication
UT: Thanks, that's comforting. I'm just nervous about the whole thing.
