bcarvings: Seriously, get yourself to a therapist, SOON. You have some fundamental misconceptions about depression, about therapy, and about medication. You need to be in the hands of a professional who can discuss this with you in person, address your objections, and work out a personalized treatment plan. We cannot do that for you.

Several people here, myself included, have posted about their own past depression. As I said before, I have been where you are. I can now clearly see how clouded my thinking was at that time, how little I understood what I needed, how much help I received from professionals who knew how to do their job – which was to help ME. Please take advantage of the resources that are available to you. This message board is NOT one of those resources, except to hopefully badger you into getting the help you need.
