Greetings.
I have chronic depression, and I know it because I had help from a doctor. I spent 2 months on treatment, and everything was going great. After those 2 months I felt like me again, happy, with energy, with a smile always, and like everyone was always smiling back at me, you know, alive. And you know that the first period of treatment, let's say 6 months, are the most dangerous of all, because you can fall down again, and if you do, you can feel a lot worse than before the treatment. Well, something happened to me, and now I know it was a test, which I failed, because after that experience I stopped seeing the doctor, hence, I stopped taking my medication (Zoloft and something else I can't remember). I had no reason to keep goin with it. Now, 3 years later, I've become a better person, but my depression is still in here, on my mind. I'm new here on United States, and I know I don't have to live like this, but I still can't find any real support. I know I'm a intelligent person, I have good feelings about me and the people, it's not like I want to kill myself, and I have people around me I know I can help (I was very good doin that) with their sadness also, but how can I help others if I don't help myself first?.
I know I need medication, and I know I have to talk with a doctor, but since I'm new here, I couln't afford to pay 300$ each 15 days. Something must be done, I know that, but I don't know how to start.
Thanks.
