I guess I was askin' the the right question...Just to a wrong type of Doctor. I've heard that before. So I don't accept that answer...so hopefully I can reply to this and get more answers. My doctor has told me the exact same thing. But, people still don't understand cuz I don't have diabetes. I just don't know what to do anymore. Some days I'm ok...some days I can't function. If it keeps going the way it is, I will lose my job. And that comes with losin' everything else. So may I speak to your husband? Maybe he can help. Or maybe you can relate the question. I have no more resorts. I'm left with no more solutions. Like I said, I have accepted that I have a sicknes....I just don't know how to explain my sickness. The only medical stand point they have is that it's a "chemical imbalance." So they give me drugs to level me out...then why do I still get depressed? Why do I still get depressed on antidepressants? I can deal with the depression. I have learned how to deal and cope with it when it occcurs. I know there is no cure. I just can't let it ruin my life. And not bein' able to explain my sickness...nor understand it.....IS!!! Can he/you give me a medical explanation of depression and that it just happens?

Ok so this brought me to tears. So you are sayin' its a chemical imbalance? So a chemical imbalance just happens? I understand a little about the seretonins and whatnot...how do you know thats what i'm lacking? Do I not get immuned to the medicine after a while? The antidepressants obviously do not work. I still get depressed. Maybe not as often...but I do just wake up sometimes feeling...it's hard to explain. I am in counseling right now. I can talk and talk for days. I finally thought I found the right doctor after so many of them. I know I found the right doctor. In the sense of talking to someone anyway. But again, I can talk and talk about all that has happened to me, all that bothers me, and it does nothing for me. Of course talking and getting things out helps, but I don't know how to explain.....but...no one understands. I guess there is no cure for depression. From a medical stand point(not that I have a degree or anything) I don't think any doctor knows what it is and what to do about it. So they assume it's a chemical imbalance. But they can't figure that out for sure...there are no test to measure...right? So they feed you drugs...sugar coat it for a while....it happens again...and again and again. Yes I may go a year without getting into a "deep" depression...but I do have my episodes and I'm just tired of it. They have cures for all this other...things. Why not this? They can't even figure it out. I have to explain to my boyfriend my feelings and emotions because they effect him as well. He doesn't understand...and I was just wanting help to help him to better understand. But all I can tell him is I have no idea....but i'll be ok. He sits and watches me cry my eyes out...over NOTHING! And it....nevermind.Thank you for the links and whatnot. I shall check them out! Maybe somebody has a solution other than takin' herbal crap that cost out the ying yang just like the drugs i'm takin'. RIDICULOUS!!

Yeah it amazes me theres a cure for such a deadly disease like cancer...but not depression. I almost feel as if you don't believe me. Like I can control it...but I can't. But..you are not a phd..so..go figure. I thought I was askin' a physician my questions. Thats my fault. It DOES just happen. I wake up feeling that way. And my doctor has told me that. I just have to fight through and deal with it. I'm just tryin' to find other solutions...or help my boyfriend better understand my sickness before it ruins our relationship. He will eventually attend a session with me. But they are tryin' to get me "leveled" out right now. (again) So, we'll see. I guess I shall do some more research. They say it's cuz of the seretonins bouncin' around..not absorbin' a nerve cell...transmitters are bouncin' around...not transmittin' correctly. But, like I said, I shall do more research to better understand how the brain works and whatnot. I thank you for your time. Sorry if I came across negative or hurtful. Everything you told me, I've already heard. Like i said, I have been fightin' this for 10 years. Oh, and the links you sent me...I already had checked them out before emailin' you. Other than the acid thingy. Once again, thank you for your time. Sorry to bother you. I hope you have a good day and please keep me in your prayers. I noticed I was charged the $10...is that a one time fee?

Oh, I apologize. I thought you were a mother/teacher. Now I see obstician/Gynecologist. I have many question about that too...hah...that i'm just too embarrassed to ask my doctor. But I don't have the money to keep payin' for each reply. In the event that is how it works....each reply...each answer..I get charged $10. It's almost worth it. So...I'm just havin' a hard time thinkin' clearly right now. I knew you weren't able to treat my depression...I just need help explain' to others. And like you said, I shouldn't have to. To the b/f...yes...but I'm at a point if he can't have a lil condolence...just take it as it is...let me be..it's gonna end. And I hate that! Anyway, I should let you go. If you have time..and it won't cost me money..please reply to me one more time lettin' me know if each question/answer cost.
