RE: My experience of depression treatment - first steps after long way of fails. War with my inner dementor.
I'm happy to hear there atleast is a good start!
Someone I know took antidepressant medication for a while. It basically made him less depressed, because it made his emotions more flat. No real lows, but also no real highs. He recently went off them, because he wanted to be able to actually feel again. I'm not sure it was the best decision, because he's pretty depressed again.
It's really a horrible illness. I don't think I can say much to help, so I'll just say I hope you'll get over it!
I hope so too. To recieve ability to feel good emotions again is my main goal, but now I'm already happy that I can at least stay flat:)
Yes, flat is definitely a good place to start! I'm guessing once you have that as a starting point, it'll be easier to start feeling good emotions again once your dosage lowers :-)
