Jess, if they said it was a "chemical imbalance" then you're clinically depressed and NEED AN ANTIDEPRESSANT. I'm also clinically depressed, and that means I have to be on an antidepressant for the rest of my life. The chemicals and hormones in the brain aren't adequate so we have to take meds to supplement them --- otherwise we'll be depressed forever. If we don't take the meds, the depression will NEVER go away even if you go thru therapy. That's the same with me. I went thru years of therapy, and while it helped, I was still in the pits of despair. So my therapist told me to go to my doctor and get put on medication.
So I've been on meds now for years. And it makes a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. I feel almost "normal" whatever that is. LOL But really I feel great! You need to get on meds too so you don't feel so awful. Talk to your doctor and get on meds honey. Believe me, you'll be glad you did. Promise you'll talk to him? God bless & let me know what happens. Hugs, Lee
