Hi everyone, I have a random question/rant for the group. I apologize if this is inappropriate and ask the admin to remove it if it is.
I have severe depression and have been on anti-depressants for a couple months now. They are wonderful and take away my depression, but somehow they make me feel worse that ever. They make me happy and cheerful, but at the same time it feels like they take away part of what makes me me. It's like the depression has taken such hold that I don't feel like myself without it. Has anyone else felt like this? Is there a way around the feeling of loss that my wonderful anti-depressants bring? The whole experience has given me a headache and has left me feeling so conflicted.

Learn to do something with your hands, perhaps. It takes your mind off of things, and maybe through some arts or writing or sewing - it will help you get through that part of your life so you can close that chapter and just begin anew smile

This has happened to me often, I have been on a lot of different medicines. In the beginning when I first started taking them, a lot of them stifled my creativity. Which hurt me. I loved writing, and it sort of blocked me. I told my doctor to give me something else. And even though it took a long time, I finally think I have found a medicine that helps and still allows me to be creative. You just need to try different ones, or talk to your doctor about how you feel and decide together on your next step.
