I've been seeing a therapist for a year now after I was diagnosed with depression. The problem is, after I stopped taking my medecine, I haven't been improving. I'm wondering if, besides therapy, there is any other way to "get help"... they say depression doesn't go away on it's own, and I'm feeling pretty "alone" with the system right now. I'm not going to feel this way forever, am I?

(Rating: 4) I appreciate the time you put into that, though I disagree with your own personal definition of depression. 1) Yes, depression is shame. This does not, however, mean I did something wrong. Please don't tell me that depression is caused by my sins, my unwillingness to follow some right path. You don't even know me. 2) do you even know what therapy is? It is a therapist telling the patient that they do not need to feel that sense of shame, that they do not need to continually put themselves down in that cycle that is depression. Don't you dare make me think I might deserve this because you're not helping. 3) yes, ok, I'm religious. But please don't assume I am, or talk about a relationship with God because my idea of what God is could be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than yours, and my relationship with Him completely different as well. 4) I have depression. You don't have to look it up in the dictionary and define it for me because I already know what it is. 5) trust me on this one. I don't need your example of a person with depression either... I'm sorry but I didn't get it having sex out of wedlock, or because I "failed God"

that's all. I'm giving you a four anyway because you obviously care enough to type all that. You're just a little conceited I suggest you stop preaching in your answers and defining things because honestly, you have no clue what you're talking about.

the last part with the excersize and reaching out whatnot was good so I'll follow that.
