GOD IM PISSED NOW. I just lost my whole post. I will try to rewrite it.
I first got depressed when I was 8. When I moved for the first time. I lost contact with all my old friends and self medicated with food. Then I moved again and slowly got less depressed when I made new friends. Then I moved back to the first again and was not realy depressed even though I did not really conect up with old friends. I made lots of new friends and was not realy depressed untill the oil tank blew up. I was not really depressed then just really scared. I started to lose frends then and moved again with out my parents this time and got really depressed. Within a few months to a year I ended up in the mental hospital. They locked me in a room where I would just lie in bed and they gave me ECTs. That in it self is depressing enough. 3 months later I got out and felt so great to be free I stoped taking my meds. Big mistake, I ended up in anouther mental hospital. When I got out this I was more psychotic than anything and did not take ADs untill a few years later, when I found out my friend who had been in a coma for 6 years finaly died. I also quit self medicating with alcohol and pot and got so depressed. Doc put me on a high dose of AD which I've been taking ever since at that dose for 13 years. I'm not really depressed on the ADs, but deep down inside I'm really sad. I've also been taking APs ever since the hospital so that may have been helping too.
