One Day I woke up. And everything was gone I want only one thing. Not to worry anymore. No pain, No hunger no more feeling. I think about only one thing. I need to stop this.

I struggle with depression too. Often feels like walking down a dark corridor with no end in sight. I need to find things that give me hope and pleasure. For me it is family and Lego. There must be something, no matter how small, that gives you joy or relief from your dark moments?

Anyone ever had problems with life insurance cover being declined due to being diagnosed with depression?

Family member is having endless issues because of simply being diagnosed and the condition being listed as chronic with medical aid.

Yep, just for anxiety meds. Haven't had an anxiety attack for years but still on very weak chronic meds for it and the moment some of the companies heard that they either "referred" my quote and charged me something stupid, or they said they can't continue...
 
And how's everyone doing? Still around? Still depressed?

Since my last post here if I did post here, I saw a psychiatrist who didn't listen much and prescribed some SSRis and MAOi and a trycyclic. None worked and the side effects were horrible

Where's that light at the end of the tunnel?

Anxiety and Depression are rough. I've been doing so well in life and all of a sudden everything changes and I have to start taking my meds again. I wish it was easier for me but nothing ever makes it easier. It gets harder and harder to fight with my mind every single day...

Just wanted to give an update to others. I started therapy and SSRIs, stayed on them for about 8 months and I am in a much better place these days.

So anyone out there struggling, reach out for help, and don't lose hope. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

So happy to hear this! If it's just one person that gets relief then it's motivating for me!

Hang in there man. I’ve been off “my meds” for almost 10 years now. 5-HTP really helped me out of the mire.

While Prozac “helped”, feeling NOTHING for so many years while on it was actually worse for me than being clinically depressed, I reckon. I don’t ever want to go back there ever again.
 
Regarding depression - Psychiatrists should be allowed to prescribe cannabis, cocaine and magic mushrooms, as well as euthanasia which can be done in a private ward in a hospital. What is the use of taking Prozac or similar when your life is screwed whatever way you look at it? Take a down and out begging for change at a robot. Will Prozac change their lives? In a first world country like Sweden, psychiatrists might be of some use, in a third world **** hole like SA, forget it.

An SA psychiatrist kept my best friend on lithium for years (she was manic). A UK GP prescribed me Prozac and forgot about me. Didn’t even get a referral to see a shrink.
