"i have been suffering from depression and anxiety for over a year, i finally decided to look for help because i was feeling really numb and hating my life, just feeling like a failure.  i am on my 5th week and i am still waiting for my mood to improve, i read some people say it might take 6-8 weeks to start kicking in and i cannot wait to feel better and have positive thoughts again.  any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated."
