I know this is kind of crazy, but I think having depression has actually made me a more confident person. I read a CBT book whilst depressed and it changed my outlook, well, enlightened me! Before I was depressed I had very negative thought patterns and I was very paranoid about what other people thought. I still get a little bit that way sometimes, but now I know to stop thinking like that and hence my quality of life has improved quite considerably!
I have stopped taking medication apart from Trazodone to sleep.
