yes. i used to be extrodinarily depressed all the time. when i took anti depressints, it helped me get over the depression, but it also made me less of the fun loving side of myself. im not as outgoing. but that is not the case for everyone.

No. I avoided meds for a long time because I had this fear. A few years ago I reached a point in my depression where I wasn't myself anymore anyway and I couldn't cope at all with reality. I had no choice but to go on meds and now I feel more like myself than I have in years. They don't change who you are, just get you closer to who you were before the depression.

Thats why I don't want to go back to therapy.
Part of me knows I may need medication but the other part of me is afraid of losing myself .
I've been depressed for so long I don't know who'd I'd be if I wasn't.

Not in a way that bothers me. I lost the nasty, depressed, suicidal part of me that was trying to ruin my life. It was the side of me that I always wanted to get rid of because I felt it was keeping me from really being 'me'.

No, I actually found myself. I never realized how depressed and negative I was until I finally felt like living.
