> I look back, remembering when things were normal - when I enjoyed getting up in the morning, when humor made tears stream down my face, when I had drive, motivation and passion - when I enjoyed life in general, when I was just a normal kid. It wasn't that long ago, only, just 4 years, I was around 15 years old when one mild depression set in + ssri's. I am now a mess, a figment, unrecognizable version of my self, that has been warped and manipulated in an indistinguishable cloud of both depression and soul numbing medications - with no dreams, no goals, no drive, trying to figure out what went wrong and why - why things had to end up like this - why I can't experience normal emotion, or enjoy things the way I use to. I think about when things were different, when things were better. Do you remember when things were better?
Mike,PLEASE don't give up hope. I am confident you will get your passion and drive back someday. Newer medications are on the front burner. May I ask what your history of symptoms are, diagnosis and medications you have tried?
