My Depression just keeps getting worse

Hi,
Thank you Bayou for getting back to me on my last post. I put a response there but I think I sent it to the wrong place.

I can't seem to shake my depression and I was wondering if anyone else out there has been through this and if so, what did they do to make things better, just a small improvement would make me happy at this point.....

I have lost interest in everything and I feel lousy phycially (spelled wrong) I have been to a counsler for this and it just doesn't seem to be helping. I am on Celexa 40 mg for a while now, and at least I am not crying over nothing all the time.

This all started about a year ago when I retired after 30 years working at the same company. It came on gradually but has just gotten worse and worse. It's an effort to do anything including taking a shower, brushing my teeth, etc. which is not me at all. I just feel that I have nothing left in my life to look forward too. I have had bouts of depression in the past, but nothing like this, where I can't function. I have lost my appetite and have to force myself to eat. It seems all I want to do is sleep, sleep, sleep. I have had all kinds of test run on me and my doctor has found nothing wrong with me, everyone keeps telling me its depression.

I also don't go out, I have a girl that does my shopping for me, which is terrible because I never minded going to the store, but I feel like I just don't have the energy. I have become a recluse in every way. I go days without talking to anyone on the phone, I just don't have the desire to talk to anyone. I guess that is why I came here today because I needed some place to go where I could vent with people who would understand what I am going through.

I'm just so awfully sad and I don't even know why........
