I have suffered from depression since I was 16.  After my son was born at 25, I went into a downward spiral.   I was finally diagnosed with major depressive disorder.  I stayed in bed all day and all night, unable to even care for my basic needs, let alone an infants.  I tried many different antidepressants, none of which worked.  Finally, after 3 years of trying, my doctor found a combination that worked.  I now take Wellbutrin and Prozac.  Sure I take a total of 6 pills a day, but I've never felt better.  Within a  month, I was getting up early, taking care of my home, my husband, my son, and most importantly myself.  Before I could hardly make myself take  a shower.  I am so happy to finally be living!!  If you are depressed, please get help.  Do it for your family, your friends, and yourself.
