Yes, the depression will get better - I know this as I was dx in 1982 and have had many ups and downs with more ups then downs.
I am on Lamictal also and taking 200mgs as of last Friday so you have alot of room to move up on that medication. I started at 25 mg and every 2 weeks my dose was increased. I find this med has been so good for me as it has evened out the lows and helped me feel more like my old self.
Never lose hope in dealing with your fears and depression. Notice your feelings, figure out what's real, ask 'so what?', make it bigger than life, walk through it, and celebrate who you are. Do these things, make them habits, expose the ridiculousness of your fears (but in a loving way), and all by themselves they'll go decrease in time.
Please stick with us as we are all here to support you.
