Interesting development... Ive been all stressy pants for months now, which has made it really hard for me to get shit done (I work by myself, for myself, from home). Turns out that at this point Im probably chemically depressed. I just dont want to do *anything* these days. I get by, but barely. Im sure some of you have dealt with this. Im arranging to see someone to talk about things, and theyre probably going to prescribe me some meds to boot me out of the state Im in. Id really rather do it on my own, but I dont know enough about brain chemistry to know if that is worthwhile or will just senselessly make things harder (Ive always been opposed to taking meds for things unless absolutely necessary). Im very aware that my work situation is the main cause of this and am working to change things, but Im presently torn as to whether or not meds are good or bad. I dont want to be numb or permanently change my brain, but then Im pretty numb these days by default from kind of shutting down. Have any of you taken antidepressants? Which ones? Did they help? I shouldnt need to take anything permanently, but Ive heard that a schedule of a few months can apparently have a positive impact. But then, I dont much trust modern medicine for treating the whole person, and I dont just want to mask the problem I want to fix it. Thoughts? Also, Im certain you all love me and would give me words of support, so dont worry about leaving them here. I just want to learn what your experiences with depression have been.
