I don't take meds for my personality disorder. It wasn't diagnosed until 6 and a half years ago. I did have mild to moderate to finally severe depression over the years and tried meds sometimes for that but it didn't help.

While I was working through some trauma with the last therapist I saw I did not take any meds. I started taking an antidepressant last year to see if it could help me get over the "hump" of ??? (fear, lethargy, inertia, etc.) so I could try to participate in the world a little better. It has helped some this time.
