i've been battling depression ever since i was 14. i was physically and mentally abused while growing up. i was in a mentally abusive relationship for 5 years. i decided to see a therapist and i was taken prozac. i dont like prozac but the therapy helped me.

it's good to find someone you can talk to about how you feel, it's even better to talk to a therapist so you wont burden your freinds with you feeling sad all the time. dont isolate yourself. write a journal about how you feel. be in the company of only positive people. i dont believe in antidepressants, i would rather take holistic herbal remedies for depression. you should research that.
