How many on the Forum take pills to ward off depression?

Because things have not been going great for the past few weeks, I find myself under a lot of strain. It's not exactly what I would describe as depression, but I do tend to break down and cry occasionally. It can't be good for my daughter to see this, but its not exactly done by choice!

I have now started wondering if pills would help or would they just introduce another possible problem? I've managed to handle this thing for over 25 years so you would think I would have it pinned down by now. Perhaps I'm just worn out.
