Can I ask why you don't want to take medication?
If you want to try and do it without medication, the doctor can direct you to talking therapies. There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, and hopefully in time you will come to believe that

I guess I am scared of becoming reliant on medication although I do also struggle to sleep so something that might help that could also help my mood.
I'll hopefully see my GP on Thursday and we'll see how things go. Just getting to this stage and properly admitting I have a problem will be a major step l think.
Depression is an illness in just the same way as any other (and actually has often just as many physical elements as psychological). While no one’s going to force you to take medication, and there definitely are alternative treatments, just try to remember that you’d take insulin for diabetes or anti inflammatories for arthritis, if your doctor recommended them ....Originally Posted by PhilG1967
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Thanks Paula. Definitely something I should bear in mind when I see the GP.
