I freakin did it! On my own too

I freakin did it! I got out of my own depression!!! As most of you know I was speaking with psy doc shelling out 20.00's pop to see him well all this  along with other doctors was cost me and I ran shot in money and into overdraft. So I had to stop see most of the docs for while so in the mean time I knew I had to do something about my depression becasue I COULD not even afford my pills so what did I do I figured out what has been causing my depression I took long look around and figured it out and how to deal with it all so I did now I took up hobbies which have helped me! Also the issues that was my which turned out not to be my knee fully it was burtitus in my hip down to my knee PT has helped it, between all the steriods and not beging able to workout I gain 19 lbs I have lost 4lbs in one week!!! I'm starting to workout again I'm take i very slow right now as to not make my hip act up. I also joined this site called meetup.com it's site that has groups you can join so I joined few of them one is walking hiking group in the aeb area. I'm feeling lot better now that I'm out of that depression

Good for you! Congratulations on taking care of yourself. You are participating in life and that is wonderful.

That's great.............way to go!!!!

Wonderful news! I am especially interested that having hobbies and exercise helped you so much. I have a sense that the hiking will be a great help to you, giving you a whole new outlook on the world!

 Good job!!!!  

Congratulations on focusing on you and turning things around - your inner strength is awesome!

Thank you everyone yes I did have to change few things around in my life but it seems to be working for some reason

Good for you for being able to work through things on your own. 

When you can, I would still suggest getting to a counselor just to maintain the good spirits.  

I am going to have to check out that meetup site.  Maybe I can find a group near me, as well.

That's wonderful!! Sometimes we have to dig deep to see where those feelings are coming from - for some its more of a chemical imbalance and they do need meds, but if you can turn things around yourself that's awesome - and the weight will come back off - don't fret that too much - at least you're moving again and that has to help things too.
