Hello, and welcome, Jeff. Most of us found PsychoBabble when we were at our bottom, too. The main thing to remember here is that we are your peers; we'll suggest what has worked for us and maybe have some ideas you haven't yet considered. I find it an invaluable site for support.
I went through trying many antidepressants before arriving at my present prescription (which is working, um, OK for the most part but I'm still kind of a mess). It sounds like your antidepressant isn't working for you. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, there are lots of other choices out there to experiment with - oops, I meant to try out :-)
As to finding the appropriate therapist, for me it was trial and error. Many errors. Eventually I decided that it was like a job interview, where I was the person looking for the right candidate. There are different approaches to therapy and from what my therapist told me, she uses the technique that she feels has the best chance for being successful.
So, I know there is hope for you, Jeff. It helps me to post here when I am doing badly, and it also helps me to post in support of others who are having a difficult time.
I'm ClearSkies, BTW. Nice to meet you!
