    Hi, you are far from alone. Depression is very common and just about everyone experiences at least one depressive period in their life time. Sadly some people struggle for longer than others but there is a great deal of help out there. Don't be afraid to open up to your therapist and discuss medicine options as I have found that a combination of talking and meds has been effective for me. Just take things one step at a time. xx
