Depression: ways of dealing with it

I'm seeing my doctor on thursday. It's a simple appointment to get some meds refilled, but I am considering talking to them about the issue of depression. I'll probably shrug it off and "chicken out" though. I really don't want to see a shrink though. I just want some fucking pills and to be on my way, but the only way to get pills is through a shrink usually so that's why I am thinking that the whole thing is not worth it. Also I think that depression is not the problem anymore, it's more like social anxiety is the cause of the depression. Who really knows. >_>

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They can work pretty well. BUT do not work for everyone. Also, I already have a case of mania. I've probably altered my DNA enough since birth what's one more substance. lols

Also shrinks are worthless for the most part. It's much better talking to actual friends about your problems.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
