Some people may be allergic to Penicillin, but allergies to Paracetamol are rare.

And I think Legit290 was just generalising so it's not worth splitting hairs.

i made the point because a lot of people just suffer with it without getting help or are to ashamed to tell their GP.
My point was there is help there to make use of without worrying about any stigma.My point wasn't that anti-depressants are the be all end all but they are a step in the process.

I believe to overcome depressions and anxiety, it takes a long while and you have to be honest to yourself and willing to work towards overcoming them no matter what.
Set yourself goals that you canwork towards to, surround yourself by positive people. If there are none near to you, go where they are, try to blend in although you feel uncomfortable. Take one step at a time and make sure you have an emergency plan for your darkest hours. It can be anything, taking a walk, hitting the gym, calling a friend. Whatever helps, really.
