[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are currently experiencing depression, or have in the past, how has it affected your life? What are you/did you do to help? What meds (if any) have you tried? Who did you tell in your personal life? I'm in a dark place and need help. People in my life can be very judgmental. I was hoping to hear others' stories.[/quote] Affected my life: I was irritable, emotional, angry with those closest to me for real and imagined slights, felt hopeless that things would get better, considered drastic life changes (leaving my family, etc.) What I did: sought therapy (helped somewhat but not much) and eventually went on Lexapro. Have not tried any other meds. Also made sure to exercise regularly (this helped, but not as much as the meds). Who did I tell: spouse and close friends only. It's important to tell them that you cannot control your emotions and ask them in advance to be patient with your bad moods/bad attitude.[/quote]
