I just wanted to say hello so that you know others are out there. I've had depression for a long time, but have had a lot of success with meds & therapy, though the meds seem to be critical for me. Mostly, I've been able to keep my depression in check. It's good that you found a professional you can talk to and treat you. I don't want to give you advice, but I have heard many people (including myself) stop using their meds when they feel better. I've given up on that approach, because I always ended up depressed. But talking to your doctor should help you decide what's right for you and your circumstance. Good luck!
Hi, I am new to this forum after coming to terms that I have depression. I am hoping to meet new friends and get a better understanding why all of a sudden, I'm 34, this has taken such a hold over my life.
I've gone through a few doctors after getting angry when they gave me perscriptions but no time to talk. Finally, I found a therapist who does both and I think I am on the right path. But how will I know? How will I know when it is safe for me to get off the meds without crawling back into my hole. I also have been diagnosed with agraphobia. It compounds my frustration with this depression. I just want to get on with my life; I just don't know how any more and I'm really tired of trying.
