I'm New Too
Posted: 09-08-07 20:22pm

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to say I deal with depression every day, I take anti-depressants and anxiety medication. I've had problems as far back as I can remember, as long as I take my meds I feel fine, if I forget a day or 2 that's all it takes to start feeling crappy. Anyone else miss a day or two and feel crappy? I'm wondering because I've heard that it shouldn't happen because there's enough in the blood, so it shouldn't happen.

Hello, my Mum suffers from depression, anxiety and and socialphobia, and it's not possible for her to go outside without having panic attacks, her sisters suffer from the same thing, except they don't have it as bad, and are able to go outside.

My Mum also takes medication for the depression and anxiety, and I know she sometimes missed a few days, and it's not just you who feels crappy.
She gets really bad.. Nervous, Moody.. Shakes alot, and feeling down.

I think if you didn't feel crappy without the medication - you wouldn't need it, that's why you have to take it daily.

Hi!
I suffered from Seasonal Depression for a long time, and it gradually became so severe that it was year long. I started medication last year, and I did find that if I missed a couple of days, I did feel crappy. It wasn't a "Depressed" crappy, though. It was more of a physical crappy. My body felt weird.

I have been off medication for a few months, and I feel great. I found that when I went off them for good, it took my body awhile to adjust, my mood didn't change so much (I had my off days). We'll see what winter brings!

Why do you get depressed, is it because you just do, or do you have some problems in real life?
