I am 23 years old, was always a happy younger person, always worked and did very well in school. Started college and almost finished. Then i don't know what happened. Back in 2003 I got very depressed and have not been steadily working or doing anything since. Its almost like I have become afraid of getting going with certain things in my life. I need help. I have made appointments to see a therapist, but due to being to depressed, have missed my appointments. I have gained weight and just wish i could feel normal, active and happy again. I hate pills and prescriptions, I just want to work it out naturally. Any advice please? My life is slipping down the drain.
