If medication is not for you or you want to wait to try it then "talk therapy" may be a good place to start.
Talk therapy is one way that can help you talk about your depression. It does have its pros and cons. In this kind of therapy it all depends on how far you want or need to go back in your life. You have to be aware and ok with knowing that what you talk about may bring alot of hurt feelings that you thought you had hidden away out into the open again.
I have tried this a number of times, it does bring feelings from way back and for me for they produced nightmares as I relived them all. I would sometimes wake up yelling or spend a good portion of the night moving my hands all about, which continued for as long as I was in talk therapy.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (or cognitive behavioral therapies or CBT) is a psychotherapeutic approach, a talking therapy, that aims to solve problems concerning dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure. The title is used in diverse ways to designate behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, and to refer to therapy based upon a combination of basic behavioral and cognitive research
