It bums me out to see you call yourself lazy, because one of the things depression does is make it hard to do things (or even to want to do them) and then to feel disproportionately guilty about it. You're not at fault here, and you don't need to feel so much blame.

Also, I don't know if I or anyone has said this, or if you already knew, but a general practitioner or family doctor is able to (and may be readily willing to) prescribe antidepressants. If you have enough coverage for a regular office visit and a prescription, you may already be able to start getting treatment; seeing a specialist and/or a counsellor is preferable, but if you can see a regular doctor now, it'd be better not to wait if you don't have to. If you don't have any coverage now, or have already hit your limit, this isn't much help, but if that's not the case...
