Hi Gabbi,
Well, thanks so much for reading my posts... I've really been wondering where everyone is, and figuring that they must be out having a great weekend like everyone else in the world. Okay, I know that's not true, it's just how I feel a lot.
It makes me feel so pathetic. A lot of people here say they hate weekends, but then they disappear too.

> Misery loves company is the best I can do.Yeah... it just makes me even more depressed when I come to the board and no one has responded and there don't even seem to be new posts.
How long did it take for you to get better?
I mean, maybe my expectations are unreal. I tried a few medications a few years ago, those didn't work. Then, it just wasn't "convenient" for me to try any more for a while, or I just didn't feel like it. I have, however, been in therapy off-and-on for for about 4 years, but there have been many different therapists, none for longer than about 7 months at a time.
Then, back in November was when I really started trying to find the right med(s). But the shrink I saw for a while was at a community clinic and she was always booked, could only see her once every couple months, + I didn't particularly like her. So in early April, I started seeing another shrink who is in private practice. And that's when the aggressive treatment really began. I see him a lot, compared to every other psychiatrist I've seen. He's good. But anyways... through all of these years and trying different drugs, nothing has worked. I'm so afraid that nothing will EVER work.
I'm sorry about your boyfriend. And I know how incredibly stressful going back to school can be. In college, I got really depressed every year about going back.
> It wasn't this way always though. And it won't be for you. IT WON'T
I hope. I really sometimes just don't know what to do. I feel so frustrated and discouraged.
Well, the weekend's almost over. Almost.
But now I just feel really really stressed about money issues. And to top things off, my f**ckin AC in my car seems to have broken. And there is an odd squeaking noise under the hood, which is rather embarrassing. AC can be really expensive to get fixed, I've heard. I really don't want to have to do this, but I think I might ask my parents to pay for it to get fixed. I just can not afford it, and it is so hot here (often 90-95 degrees F most of the summer). Another issue about getting it fixed is that if it takes a few days, I'll be without my car, and I don't really know what to do about that. I really need it.
I hope this isn't too long and boring for you. It feels good to vent. I really appreciate knowing that you are there and reading my posts.
