[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 148974, member: 1550"] I've had debilitating depression since age thirteen. It's not your fault. It's bio-chemical. When I got depressed nothing helped and I couldn't make myself do anything. It was like I was slowed down, physically and mentally, and I had so much anxiety with it that I was afraid to go outside--that actually made me worse. medications were the only thing that helped and it took a while to find something that REALLY worked, but I kept trying. Feeling hopeless, like things will never get better, is a symptom of depression. The worst symptom for me was a horrible detached feeling of unreality, almost as if I was in a dream instead of awake--it was called depersonalization/derealization. The right antidepressant AND benzodiazapan's (I need both) took almost all the symptoms away. Prozac, Zoloft, Elavil, Tofrinil and Pamelar all either only worked maybe 50% or, at worse, gave me horrible toxic reactions so I'd have to quit. Paxil has been magic for me, but it took about twenty years of fighting depression to find it. (((Hugs))) and take care. Keep trying. [/QUOTE]
