Hey Tonmur,
I too battle depression and like almost30, so does most of my family. Definitely ask your MD about medication. My depression hit the hardest in my mid 20's (I am 33 now) and I tried to deal without meds for a year. Finally, I was in a "black hole" that I could not find my way out of by myself. I started zoloft and I have never looked back. It has completely changed my life. When you find what works for you, it will feel as though a fog has been lifted and you can think and see more clearly. It is hard to explain, but it sounds as though it is worth looking into for you. I wish you a happier and healthier 2002! I'm around if you need to "talk!"
Hugs,
Carrie
