I suffered from a severe depression eight years ago but for the last seven I have been just fine, no meds .
My husband has been saying just recently he thinks I'm depressed again . I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I just quit my job so there is financial problems etc. However some of the things I do I know is typical of someone that is depressed ! I just quit my job , no notice ( not like me ) . I don't answer my phone . I haven't wanted to get together with friends or entertain anyone . I don't sleep at night very well , usually 3 to 4 hours . I have been to the hospital and I'm waiting to see a doctor , however I don't want to take meds I would prefer to try and deal with it through counselling. Last time round I was on every type of med out there and had ECT , I just don't want to go down that road again ....
