Hi Declan,
I'm glad you liked me story and thanks for answering my post. I'm suprised you haven't ever tried SSRIs.
I do believe (well in my case anyway) this depression has some sort of chemical element to it. I can't believe it is all just down to the way I think, I just can't believe it. I used to be very lucky well the first drug the doctor ever gave me worked really, reallly well and very quickly and then when that stopped helping me so much the second one worked really well too.
I however, didn't just take medication as soon as my depression struck. I spent from 17 to 24 feeling always below par (although never as bad as I do now) and thinking I had some sort of undiagnosed physical problem. I tried swimming every day which only made me feel worse and then the Doctor gave me prothiaden and all of a sudden I just didn't have to try anymore. It was great.
Not so great now though but there are drugs which do help to some degree and for that I am grateful.
Denise
