Does anybody have major depression?

I have major depression. I am feeling a little bit less depressed these days. I am feeling better overall.

I’m diagnosed with it but pretty sure it’s just SZ negatives. I don’t really feel down that often.

I’ve been diagnosed with it yes. Im also schzioaffective depressive type.
It comes in waves for me. For a while things will be okay, and then suddenly I’ll get stuck with the gloom.

I was diagnosed with major depression disorder for years. I think now my schizoaffective-depressive type has replaced the MDD diagnosis.

I have major depressive disorder, but my ADs and APs help me keep it in check. I havent had any severe symptoms from my depression since last fall.

I haven’t been diagnosed with your severe depression. However, I’ve tried antidepressants, and they stop working after two or three months. I don’t know why.

I was feeling some sadness on Geodon at certain times. It was mostly when I wasn’t busy. I am on Caplyta, which is for bipolar depression. I don’t feel depressed anymore.

Anyway, I’ve been depressed since I was 12 years old. It’s been constant. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if I have severe depression.

Somtimes I get really depressed. It is a miracle I am still alive. Now I take Cymbalta and NAC and I don’t get that depressed.

Depression, severe recurrent

Yeah I have major depression with the sz. It’s very common with the dx and it’s a high percentage chance you will have both.

Post psychosis depression. Yes. Numbness. Lack of energy. I feel overwhelmed by world and life.

Problem is AD that worked for me don’t when I am taking AP.

I have had major depression for many years. Could not function well. Now kind of relieved that I have a job and have something to work on.

My citalopram 40mg kicks its buttocks. It bullies my social anxiety aswell and I am glad about that.

Yes i have the diagnosis of Major Depression, and i take an antidepressant and mood stabiliser to manage it.

Im not sure if im depressed or not. But i feel nothing about everything all the time. No pleasure in anything. The only feelings i get inside regularly are stress and anxiety. I get the same amount of entertainment from staring at a wall for hours as doing anything else.
But im kinda used to all this. It frustrates me a lot but i can still get up and do what i need to do.
I started prozac recently to help get rid of it. Only been a week or two so far so not sure if its going to do anything yet.
