I forgot this but I have been seriously depressed ever since I moved down here to this area of VA. I miss everything about my home in MD ... my friends, my community, my church, I worked for a dentist til he retired. I've struggled with depression/anxiety for years and years and was in therapy and on medication for 12 years up there. Down here I still see a Psychiatrist for medication, but no therapist. Well, now the Psychiatrist has hired a therapist and I'm going to try her in 3 weeks. After 12 years with the one I had in MD, who really pulled me out of some very dark places, I can't even imagine where to start with this new one. I hope it's a fit as I can't afford to drive all the way up to Frederick every other week for counseling .... gas is just too expensive. Thanks again for listening to my story ..... Barb (abby)

Hello Barb, I don't give advice, but I am willing to share a bit of information about what helped me when I was dealing with long term (4 months) major depression. Writing regularly was a start that helped me to identify where some of my anxieties and fears were coming from. This took me months to do, but it gave me a place to start in addition to counseling and a group support. You are not alone in dealing with depression, and I can identify with how debilitating severe depression can be.
