Nicola,
Welcome. This is a great support system to tap into. As I have mentioned before we have a great Depression Program that our members can use and it's free. Our online members are quite knowledgeable and supportive. They can really be of assistance to you :)
Please also take a look at our CBT Buddies, this works like MSN and you can contact other members on a one to one basis for support.
It might also be a good idea to take our Depression test and forward it to your doctor. This will help better assess the situation.
Take it one step at a time,
Josie

Have been suffering with a 'down' feeling now for about one year one and off and have tried various methods to lift the mood, exercise, positive thinking, but it has all been on my own. Had periods of being fine even good but also those of being down - had one of those just now, which is why I am here....
I have strong feelings I don;t want to take medication and want to work this out myself (although have great support from my husband!) But I do sometimes need an outlet like this....
