A Little More Light

Hi,
I have just found this website after searching for information about Citalopram. I decided to sign up to the site as it seems that it may be of help and support.
I have suffered with depression on and off for many years since I was a teen. I had a big breakdown in my mid 20s and kept on an even keel since then until about 4 years ago when events in my life brought me back down again. Though not as horrific as my previous episode, I am weary of feeling the way I do and wish that my depression and hopelessness would just vanish so I can feel normal again.
I went for counselling 3 years ago but had to stop due to lack of funds, but was wary of taking medication. I have now relented after a visit to the doctors and I'm being referred to counselling - when that will be is anyones guess, it may be that I will have to fund it myself but I'll see what happens.
Not everyone understands depression, especially those who haven't been affected by it, but sometimes even those that have. Hopefully, get the chance to chat to people on here to share experiences, it's nice to know that I'm not alone.
The advice that I get is to be more active and eat better, but I know that that is the right thing to do, and before 4 years ago I was very active for many years - but the reason that I'm not very active and don't eat well now is because I'm depressed and don't get the motivation or drive to do anything. Hopefully the medication will help me to get to a level where I can begin to get my life back on track and do the activities that will push me further out of my low low mood and stop me from crying all the time!
Well I've gone on enough now and probably bored any readers off, but I hope not.
