Sonine,
You sound like you have quite alot on your plate. It's good that you are taking care of your body as that will only help you feel better. Your mind too though, needs taking care of.
The Therapist may have recommended Prozac, but a psychiatrist may recommend something else. It is probably a good idea to talk to a therapist and / or a psychiatrist. They can maybe help you work through all of the changes that are going on in your life. It's better IMO to at least have a handle on the issues while you are in school, rather than having to fight through them after you have graduated and have a job to deal with.
The meds that are used to treat depression aren't really the demons that they were reputed to be years ago. Depression is an illness, just like strep or the flu or chicken pox. The difference between a virus and depression is that depression and most mental illness can be treated.
You can probably find someone on campus to talk to. Check out the health center. I'm certain that you can feel better, and that you deserve to.
Dee.
