I have been clinically diagnosed with it recently. At first I argued the diagnosis but after some googling ect it makes some sense.
My Googley research also confirms that I am inflicted with depression (I have the symptoms), which basically confirmed what the doctor told me.
The Doc. wanted to give me all sorts of drugs but I only accepted valium, which I will only use that should I really need it to sleep. Asides from that I am determined to use will-power to get me through.
My misses is outstanding in terms of support, and I am fairly certain of where my problem lies, and I am trying my damndest to sort it out. And despite being depressed I am grateful that at least can recognise it otherwise it could be so easy to bottom out completely.
I didn't post this looking for sympathy, I did so because apparently one of the best remedies is talking about it.
I am also looking for advice should anybody else here have suffered before (Apparently clinical depression is not that un-common).
P.S. I ain't gonna slit my wrists or something else stupid.

been there, done that.....
I know exactly how you feel....and the only thing I can suggest is....sort out the problem (easier said that done).
I identified what mine was, sorted it and I was like a different person afterwards. It was literally the world off my shoulders.
Sure, life was still pretty pants....as always....but I didnt have the problem and I felt so much better for it.
However, I seem to have come full circle pretty much spot on a year....time for a new direction, but again its finding which direction to go in

Not had depression as such, but anxiety about my health. In the end drugs (antidepressents) worked to kick me out the cycle. I knew there wss no real reason for feeling how I did, but being concious of this fact didn't make them go away. Weird eh.
Thankfully I didn't need them for too long.

It's the work front that is causing it all, again thankfully I can recognise that there is a specific problem.
I was informed today that I missed out on a job, which could have been a great job for me. Despite being well qualified for the job the interview was atrocious as not only was my confidence gone, but also I had a sleepless night the night before. It's a viscous (SP) circle.

I'm not making light of a serious subject I promise, just had to say I love that spelling mistake - a small puddle of jam springs to mind

Do you still drink a lot BR?
That's not meant to sound patronising

That's not meant to sound patronising Yeah, although less than usual because I have not been in the mood recently. I (My misses) did ask if it was down to booze and the doc pretty much said nope, although of course it could potentially become a major factor if I don't get myself sorted.
