Hi Tammy! I understand your hesitation, but it really does help to talk to people who really know what you're going through. Those around us try, but it is hard unless you've experienced it. For the most part the messages are encouraging and uplifting. All of us have times we come here to vent, but it isn't all the time. I'm sorry things are rough for you right now. Is your profession inherantly stressful? That really makes it tough when you are having your own problems. Do you do anything for yourself???? Like walking, exercise, meditation, light therapy...? It's so important for us to be kind to ourselves. I hope your doctor keeps working until he gets it right for you. Keep in touch, and let me know how it's going. Kelly

Tammy, You've come to the right place! Please feel free to roam the site at your own pace. If you look to the left of the screen under "PROGRAM TOOLS" you'll find our Depression Test. The purpose of these tests is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. If you ever have any questions or concerns please click the "CONTACT US" link at the bottom of the page. We're open to any questions or concerns you may have. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Melanie ________________________________ The Depression Center Support Team

Hi folks -- I'm Tammy, new to this site. It looks promising. I'm 41, and have lived with depression since I was 13. Most of the time, it has been well managed with medication and I can maintain a life filled with children and my profession. But I've had a sharp decline in the last few weeks, and my doctor is working with a change in meds. This is probably one of the three toughest times I've experienced with depression. I've always hesitated to get involved with other depressed people because I thought it would only make me more depressed. But I'm open to trying something new. Thanks for being here!
