Yes, I was there a little over a year ago. I went back to the mental health center where I have turned at various times over the years for help. I signed up for regular counseling again. I also requested a medication evaluation with their staff psychiatrist.
It was so hard, but little by little I clawed my way back out. My Cymbalta was increased, a second antidepressant was added to help me sleep and gain weight back (I am thin anyway, and had dropped 20 pounds).
I continued to attend my 12 step meetings to at least get me out of the house whether I wanted to or not because I can literally become paralyzed with depression just sitting at home.
I made myself get up and take a walk, even if it was just around the block.
I took baby steps, and eventually I made progress.
