KiT, It definitely sound like, for the most part, you seem to be doing a lot of the things that you should be doing to combat your depression. I know that it can be frustrating when medications, therapy, St. John's Wort, and other treatments don't work or only work so well. The only thing that I can suggest is that you keep trying anything that you think might help give you the boost that you need. I can't guarantee that you'll return to the way that you felt before the onset of your depressive symptoms, but I would keep your eyes open for treatment strategies that might prove to be beneficial. At least that's what I've been doing. Will it pay off? I'm not sure, but I think it's worth sticking around in case the improvement that I need is just around the corner. Tomatheus Thanks Tomatheus, your words are very encouraging. I think i will do what you suggested and weigh my options out. Maybe something will work out. The only thing I'm afraid of is having this depression as a crutch for the rest of my life. I want to just enjoy life for once you know.
