Oh Jen, I'm with Shell on this one....didn't have a clue you were feeling like this or needed help..you always seem so strong. Wish I could give you some advise, but since I haven't been there, I can't. Just know we are always here for you when you need us....even if it's just to listen when you need to get it all out.

Well, I spoke to my doctor on Thursday afternoon and he definitely said it sounded like depression. He said it was probably a moderate case of it, and admitted he didn't know much about it. So I got a reference to the psychotherapy department and spoke with a doctor on Friday about setting up counseling sessions. Both my primary care doctor and my psychotherapy doctor said that I was definitely doing the right thing by calling so that made me feel a little better.
I told Jason about my appointment Thursday night and he was very supportive about it. I don't want anyone else (besides you guys) to know right now so he promised not to say anything to anyone.
My first session starts next Wednesday morning. After talking to my primary doctor, we decided not to go the antidepressant route right now because they made me really nauseous last time (I'm super prone to that!) and my current BC pills are causing problems in that area for me already.
It's weird because I will have sporadic moments of happiness - like last night, Jason and I went to see George Thorogood and the Destroyers in concert and I had a really good time. It felt weird that I was having a good time, though, because I wasn't really used to it.
Thanks everyone for your replies. I'm going to try to respond to some of them, but might not get to everybody right now because I'm at work.

Jen, I couldn't have said it any better. Like Kandee I've never been there either, so don't have any advice, but you know we love you and are always here for you. xxoo

I agree with everything Sand said. Additionally, in terms of results you're seeking, be patient. When I first started therapy I was so impatient. I just wanted immediate solutions, answers and results. But I learned therapy is not a quick fix. It took a little while to get to where I wanted to be, but it was defintely a great journey for me. I learned so much about myself, what I wanted and what I needed to do to get them. I hope your therapy turns out to be a great journey and you find what you're looking for (peace, confidance, etc.) Good Luck!

Hi, I am in the midst of trying to take the step of taking Celexa for anxiety which has been a part of my life for a long time - it has lead to eating disordered behaviour and over exercising (also isolation) which has been very unhealty. I have had over 3 years of counselling and although it has given me some insight = it has not helped me overcome my anxiety attacks which seem to be wired into me - I am told that it is my genetic makeup - Counselling is good - I just know that for me I may need SSRI's as well. This is a very very scary time for me and I feel very alone but I think I need to take the step. Take care of yourself - Debbie IBS-c

Hi Jen,
I don't know why I was driven here today - but please know I am here for you.
I suffered terrible depression after I had Bentley. And I was bawling my eyes out when I had to get a prescription, I felt like a failure.
But you know what, it would blow your mind how many people around you are on something.
When I started going to a counselor I wasn't too excited about sharing my feelings either - however, just tell yourself that you need to do this to get better. I promise you, it works! 
Good luck sweetie,
I feel for you- it's definitely not an easy road. If you need anything - let me know.
Take care,
--------------------
