hello everyone. i am new to this site and am looking forward to discussions with others who are experiencing the same kind of problems that i am experiencing. i used to be a very upbeat, confident person but something has changed in the last several months and i have not been able to regain my former self. i did seek help when i realized that i was not going to be able to fix things myself. it is tough for me to admit that i am depressed as i have always considered myself a very strong person and view myself as weak because i am depressed. i rationally know that i am ill, not weak but it is still a truggle for me to accept that i am not weak or a failure. i started medication about 8 weeks ago and have had to have my dose adjusted twice. i am also undergoing psychotherapy. i must say i am finally starting to feel better although i still have more bad days that good days right now but i am hoping that will soon change.
