Hey,
I just want to thank everyone for their replies. When I was posted the topic I was feeling very low indeed and was having a very hard time. However, things have picked up alot for me in the last few months and I am much much happier with my life now. I am glad that I declined the anti-depressants and i'm happy I was able to deal with my problems without the aid of prescribed medication.
Thank you all for your great advice and useful input.
