I don't really feel sad; mainly fatigue, lack of motivation, lack of enjoyment. So many problems follow the lack of motivation.

I find chronic depression worse than flashbacks, dissociation, anxiety, panic attacks, etc. That stuff is temporary and despite the episode the other night, i feel i have more control of it overall than the depression.
Medication helped a lot with the depression. Not sure anything else would have helped, the stress caused a chemical imbalance I couldn't fix on my own.
