A month or so from now will mark 9 years since I was diagnosed with clinical depression. They put me on Lexapro and Xanex, and eventually switched me to Cymbalta as Lexapro wasn't handling the physical symptoms and took me off of Xanex as it becomes addictive.
Yet with years of drugs and therapy, I still feel like I am clinically depressed. All the drugs and therapy seem to do is help me to get by and live my life, but rarely can I say that I am "happy".
I was hoping some folks who have been(or had) suffering longer can tell me if it gets better or goes away. Or if I am stuck suffering from now until I die.
I'm not really looking for medication advice, I trust my doctor. I am more looking for stories that can either give me hope that I'll get over it some day, or share ways of dealing with unceasing depression
