Timetoheal,
Welcome to the Depression Center and thanks for sharing your history with us.
We hope you'll be able to find the help and support you need. Have you ever tried CBT?
Please take the time to familiarize yourself with your session diary and have a read through our forums. Both are great sources of information on depression.
We have a sister site that may also be of help to you:
www.paniccenter.net You might also be interested to know that session 10 of our program is also about managing anxiety.
If you have any questions, just ask.
Danielle
