Mikaela, I also suffer from severe depression. I am in therapy and take medication. I can totally sympathize with you on how you feel. You are definitely not alone.

I love the way the people on this site are so caring. It makes me proud that Michael's fans are such caring, giving, wonderful friendly people.
Don't get me wrong, I believe that medication can help - it helped me right after losing Michael; it just should not be taken without therapy.
You people are wonderful! tina

Hi all.... I just want to say that Tina you are so right - the people I've cyber-met here are really cool caring giving people and it is a treat to log on daily and share....!
Listen Mikaela I feel for you as I have depression also and do know that you definitely need a combination of meds plus therapy...I agree with Tina 100% that meds alone or therapy alone is not enough. I live in a highly populated area outside Manhattan and let me tell you it has been so tough finding a new therapist - there are waiting lists with all the docs here - so do what you have to to find someone you trust to support you - get referrals, shop around until you are comfortable...because while I agree that the support of this website is great - it is not what I would qualify (Bless you all) as therapy and should not take the place of working closely with a competent clinical practitioner.
I'm sorry you are having a rough time, remember to take care of yourself on a daily basis because all the worry you are feeling can drain you of the necessary energy you need to keep you going. My wish is for you to find the support you need in family, close friends and a good therapist. God Bless, hugs Marlene
