Back out of my hiatus. [Update on Depression]

[DJ Charizard]

Hey guys. I'm back from my (about a) month hiatus from the forums. I was turning into someone I really hated and I needed to take a break. I found that I was hostile, angry, and upset for no good reason. After going to therapy for a while, hanging out with friends, doing things that interest me such as drawing and gaming, and having people there for me, I feel that it's the right to come back. I made this post before I left suddenly and I feel like I need to put out an update for it. As for my depression, (the main reason why I'm even posting this.) It's gotten a hell of a lot better. I no longer feel [like] a void, and going on with my life has been a lot easier. I've stepped down from my dose on Zoloft and my personality has pretty much came back. I just just moping around and I wasn't like myself. I'm usually (at least I seem to think) a pretty energetic person. My friends tell me that I'm a lot cheerier, and honestly actually fun to hang around now. It's still lingering, but as I said before I can get through the day much easier now.

I don't expect or want to get anything from this post, I just wanted to let you guys know about my situation and my depression after basically falling from the face of the earth.

Oh, and college still sucks.

i was put on zoloft too along with prozac for bipolar and depression. my life changed dramatically in a way you wouldn't expect. you would've expected me to get better, but i did not. i didn't have any emotions; i couldn't figure out how to use them anymore. i don't know if that happens to everyone, but do not depend on them. they're essentially a placebo (i ended up learning from the hospital i was in)

Thanks, and mainly my final project for game design in which I have to work with a small team, some thesis papers for certain subjects, and then just preparing for finals soon.

That sucks man. I hope you can get out of it soon and start feeling better. Depression is really a kick to the balls x 100.

Hey, welcome back! Glad to see that you are doing better!
Personally, I have Schizoaffective disorder with recurrent depression so I kinda feel like ive been in your shoes before. I take cymbalta for the depression, and Haldol and Seroquel for the schizo part of my disorder. Ive been taking these medications for four years and I can say that while some seem to be placebos, others actually do work.
Im glad your doing better, hope things only go up from here for you!
