I would like to know why it is that I always want to just break down and cry for no apparent reason what so ever. I take prozac but have not taken it for six months. I feel so worthless like nothing i ever do is good enough for people. I can only do so much for what position in life I am in right now. I try my hardest and feel it is not good enough. I feel like committing suicide but I cannot go thru with it. I need advice on help and some sort of a support system I think.

Hello Anonymous, Depression is often caused by chemical imbalance. Chemical imbalance can often make you feel like your on a drug that causes you to be "not quite in control". It could be something in your diet or in your environment, not just emotional problems out of control. I would urge you to check out an "open minded" medical professional that sees you as a whole person(body & mind). Look in your phone book or check the many on-line health sites for a professional that is versed in alternatives beyond "just meds." Don't wait! Take action NOW...have a little faith. There is someone out there that can help, but it is important to remember "GOD helps those who help themselves". You can do it...kc
