is being depressed all the time helping you fight through your pain?

There are terrific and effective treatments for depression. It is a curable condition. Believe me, im a doctor, and i take lexapro (prozac derivative), and i will never stop taking it, if i can help it. i used to cry all the time. I had trouble talking to colleagues because if i had any confrontation i would burst into tears. since i started the lexapro, i can cry, but only at more appropriate times. I still have ups and downs, but they are much easier to deal with. I also saw a counselor for many years, but good counselors are expensive. If you are depressed or have ever thought about hurting yourself or others, call a crisis hotline and get help. it is there for you; you deserve it.
