Author Topic: Back out of my hiatus. [Update on Depression]  (Read 1010 times)

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.

It's great to see that you're doing better! What are you doing in college right now?


Yay! I'm glad to see you're back, definitely one of my favorite users.

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.

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!
