(disclaimer-Didn't read the whole thread)
I was in the same boat as you. I really didn't consider myself that depressed, just not the happy go lucky person I knew I should and could be. I went to a counselor where I knew my therapy would revolve around changes that I could make, as opposed to changes that medicine could make. I'm very happy that I went and I've learned a lot about myself and how to handle situations and feelings a lot better.
-edit- I also wanted to make the point that I personally didn't want any medication either. IMO in a lot of cases the symptoms are treated and not the cause. THAT is the biggest mistake in most mental health programs.
