You need to be very careful, if you are ever described anti-depressants. In a lot of cases, you will feel worse before you feel better. I was prescribed medication and it got scary for me - as a result, I no longer take them.

Find someone to talk to. If you don't have anyone close enough that you can trust not to judge with your problems, look for a phychologist. In my case, there are certain things (events/people) that trigger my lows. Over time, I have learned to deal with these triggers.

Things that have helped me:
*Exercise, I am still a fat ****** - but I feel better when I am out and about. I don't sit at home dwelling on things
*Go for a cruise - gets me out of the house, which is a good distraction.
*Try to socialise. I Don't have many friends.. but I feel that I am close to the few that I do have.
