Dearheart, you started medication when you were young. There is such a thing as clinical depression -- that is usually inherited. If you look back in your family history, you'll probably find one parent or another who has a history of depression, as well as grandparents. Clinical depression is when the hormones and such in our brain don't work right -- the levels aren't corrrect, so we have to take antidepressants to get the levels back where they're supposed to be. It's a MEDICAL cause. Unfortunately it doesn't get better. I have clinical depression too and I'll have to be on antidepressants for the rest of my life. I've already been on them for about 35-40 years!!  But I don't care -- if it means that I won't be in that deep dark PIT OF DESPAIR, then I just don't mind taking them. Why should ANYONE have to feel like that?
So talk to your doctor and get back on the medication!! There is no reason to suffer like you're suffering. If it can be made better, why not? Chances are you have clinical depression, but I CANNOT DIAGNOSE you, only a therapist can do that. So it would be a good idea to see a therapist again too.
BEst of luck sweetie, and please take care. Hugs, Lee
