I have asked my family doctor for some help with depression and he gave me 20mg of celexa with a 6 supply. I would like to be able to answer his question of how long have I been depressed but don't think I know myself well enough. It scares me but I look back over my 40 years and think I have had depression of some form always. I have always been horribly jealous of past lovers and situations out of my control. My moods can change from happy then someone will say something that usually reminds me of something negative and I don't want to talk or be reasoned with. For years I've thought this was very severe self esteem. Could it be or is that depression? My Father passed away last December and I just felt so bad for 3+ months that I asked for help. I cried and didn't want to leave the house. Again, the Celexa has helped for the last 3 months but now I am starting feel some of those old feelings again a few times a month. What does this all mean? What is depression? Is it feeling so bad about how you look or where you came from that you don't ever feel like you are normal?
