What do I do now?

Dear Lone One I'm sorry you're having such a hard time of it all. I think I am a bit lucky - I am not on medication at the moment - my gp doesn't recognise my symptoms as depression - she thinks it's stress. I have suffered from stress in the past and I know that that's not my problem. But gps don't really want you telling them what you think is wrong. Yes, sleep is a problem, I find that self-hypnosis tapes are sometimes helpful. The one I'm using just now is Sleep Like A Log (great title, eh?) by Paul McKenna. I'm sure you can get it online somewhere. I do hope things get better for you soon.

I know exactly how you feel. Any of the tests I've taken indicate "severe depression" but it isn't possible for me to see a dr. right now..no job until the new year and no benefits when I do start. I have been on zoloft, paxil, wellbutrin and probably a few more I've forgotten and haven't done diddly. Currently taking one advil a night so I can get *some* sleep. Life bites right now.

I know I have depression, my gp is useless, I have family and financial problems, and to top it all I am stupidly proud. Don't know what to do really. I am lucky enough to be able to get through a working day, but it's so hard, I just don't know where to turn, or how to get myself out of this.
