Depression and SAD getting in the way..........kind of long post

Ok, i havent felt like this since before my hubby and i moved from our apt to our great house:)
i now have a different job with a set schedule and a mind engaging envt. I have a dog (always wanted one), a cat (had while at the apt) and 2 birds. I love my life and feel satisified......
I havent had a "wave" of depression since before getting our house. I know that having my little "zoo" has helped .............but i fear that i may need to go on meds......i know i shouldnt care if they help me feel better but i do.....I dont know if its a stigma stuck in my head about it or what.....
I really care what i eat and def dont want to exercise! I do walk my dog b/c i feel guilty if i dont and always feel better after ward.
So, boiling this down.............opnions please
Do i eat what i want until i feel better - im hoping the end of this week, i will be my "old" self this week
OR
Do i talk to my PCP about a referral to a therapist? I have been to one before and it helped, but money is really tight right now.......
Any advice is great:) Just looking for any insight.....
Oh, FYI : My hubby is a GREAT listener and who i talk to at length, but sometimes i need outside perspective ;) Thanks!
