I had noticed for the past 10 years of my life that I would get depressed during the winter. However, in the summer I'm vivacious, energetic, and all around happy. I didn't know what the hell was wrong with me. I would spend majority of time in my room, have crying spells, didn't want to get out of bed, didn't want to eat, and had insomnia. I finally reach my rock bottom two months when I stayed in bed for 3 days crying and barely ate a thing. I had to do something so I spoke with my primary care physician and she was very nonchalant about it and said "oh it's just the winter blues you'll be fine." I told her no I've been going through this for the past 10 years. Then she was like fine I'll just prescribe some medication and said no I would like to speak with a therapist first. So she referred me to a therapist. I went to the therapist two weeks ago and she basically stated that I need weekly sessions plus anti depressants. Tomorrow I'm going to physician so I can receive my meds. I'm kinda scared, but it's worth the try. I've confided in my grandmother, my father and my boyfriend about this. They have all been awesome!!! I believe I'm going in the right direction by seeking therapy I mean at least I'm trying to get help for it. I don't want this disorder to effect my job since I've recently got promoted.
