How can I change my sad, scared mood?

Asked by mzgator (4158) February 4th, 2009 from iPhone

I am turning forty on the fifteenth of this month. I have not been depressed about it, until now. I got sick with a horrible kidney infection. When I went to the doctor my blood pressure was extremely high for the first time ever. I had all sorts of tests to figure out the cause and am waiting for results. I have become totally depressed now. I am usually never depressed, always happy and outgoing and on the go. I have a wonderful life with a great husband and daughter. Please help me change my mood. You guys are wonderful. Thanks.
