I'm not on any medication specifically for depression. I've had some very bad times in the past when I'm down and it prevents me from feeling anything, that's worse in my experience. I am not an expert on the subject of medication, all I know is I spent a decade trying to find something that works and allows me to be productive. I'm pretty much there and don't want to experiment when I'm able to mostly function.
My employer has a service I'm using for therapists that's helping out some.
For me, it's about breaking things down into small, manageable goals when I'm overwhelmed and having someone to talk through it. I'm just surprised this has been going on for so long.
