Have been depressed for years. I am 49 and menopause has made things almost unbearable. In the last 3-4 years my life has changed drasticly. I would love to get therapy but have no ins. and feel I have never been properly diagnosed for any of my problems. I have an addictive personality and it would be very easy for me to get hooked on mood pills. Just wish I could feel normal, happy and have something positive to look forward to. I do not have regular income at the moment, jobs here are very hard to find. I just want to be normal and find the help I desperately need.

I would love to hear from others in similar situations and how they are handling it.
