I know whereof you speak, though my depression issues (and their triggers) are all chronic pain, self esteem and feelings of uselessness related. I'm glad you're writing about things things so that you can go back and analyze your feelings and thoughts, which often helps considerably. Have you ever kept a 'mood journal' that lists not only your moods, but what thoughts you were having or external triggers that may have brought on the mood? Basically, something that you could bring with you when you see the psychiatrist? Just a thought; it's something one of the psychiatrists I was seeing had me do for a while and it helped some.
Anyway, I just wanted to stop in and give you a virtual hug and tell you that I'm in your corner pulling for you. ***hug***
