Seek advice on withdrawal but its my understanding that it should be gradual. Brain zaps is certainly common. Best of luck.
The dreams I had EVERY night was the weirdest shit I have ever experienced. Went cold turkey and felt shit for 2-3 weeks with the brain zaps and brain fog. Glad I came off it when I did. Some days I wake up and think " I can't do this anymore " but go for it, for another day to see what happens. The last 4 years have been a personal war. I don't know where to start. I feel bad as I could be in a wheelchair or something but unless you have experienced deep and prolonged depression you are not in a position to comment imo. Outside circumstances out of my control have brought it on. Anyway I wish everyone who is suffering all the best. Just carry on , there's no other way really.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well and remember, you got to be in it to win it and if you want something you will get it.
Been a while since I was on here last but I had an eventful year. Last year I lost my driving licence, my own fault, went driving late at night, doing nothing but looking dodgy as hell like a kerb crawler. Get checked out from the copper on the only dual carriageway of the 259 and wham, I am summoned for driving with no insurance. I could of got away with it if I dealt with it properly at the time and used a barrister but to cut everything short my licence was revoked.
Now to many that would be pretty shit and it felt it at the time especially as I leave in the middle of the Weald with no transport but after losing my job because of losing my licence I carried on going back in to college as I had already planned before I lost my licence, got on my bicycle and climbed 8 miles twice a day. And I still had an evening job I stopped on the way before I got home.
Don't get me wrong, it is a lot of hard work. But everyone is working hard. These a hard times for everyone involved. I am still very poor from my previous lifestyle and when I do get myself back on the road I hope I will be financially more in control as I have done very well with the minute income I currently receive.
But I am in college, acting, dancing, going to the pub every friday and having a cigarette when ever I feel like it. Things could be so much worse.

Every life is different and we all bloom and different times. If you are feeling down do as many activities as possible that interests you. Be bold. I am certain you will be surprised. And if it costs you money to go back to college, just pay it. For some lucky people on support their education will be free.

There is a medical condition called Clinical Depression.
There is also a state which I call Critical Stress, which the 21st century physicians called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Clinical Depression is probably (my view) a prolonged state of Critical Stress. It happens so often that a good General Practioner of Medicine is probably aware. Whether he/she can help you is a different matter.
As far as the Psi Cops (Conventional Psychiatry) is concerned that the idiots don't have a clue and will shrink your brain with drugs.
In Perseus terms, Critical Stress probably develops traits (morph-shift to other personality types) that you never knew existed, sometimes called the Shadow processes. In theory it is forced Personal Growth. In practice it is traumatic exhausting, detrmental to your health, causes distress, and tends to make people unhappy as they are acting out of character.

Talk to people, don't keep it to yourself, build yourself a good support network of friends and family who will be there when you need them, tell your doctor who can refer you to a Councillor (sp?) and go see them, they're great! Do things that are fun and that yoou enjoy, go to comedy shows, laugh ... with other people, don't be introspective ...
As someone once said to me; It's much better to be standing at the top of a well looking down, than being in the inside trying to get out ...

Exercise, good diet, do something meaningful everyday, more exercise, discuss whats getting you down.
Yes. Cheer up!
For all the people on here who have stated they are on anti-depressants, I'm sure there are more people who won't disclose such information. This issue, more than any other I think, makes me wonder what went wrong with Western society. Personally, I put it down to a lack of family support. Whereas in times gone by and in other cultures, there is a network of extended family to help people deal with problems, nowadays people rush about, move away from home, and are pressured into unrealistic expectations (even if these expectations seem trivial to the outsider).
I really hope all those people on anti-depressants on here manage to beat their demons. It's a really awful place to be.

As I work for myself I have disclosed this information and tried to offer support to others. If I was employed I definately would not disclose this. Not that it is anything to be ashamed of but if they have a list of people they will not go for someone who is deemed to be suffering from depression imo.

This is the conventional advice. This is what all the social workers/councillor type say. As a general statement is it is simply wrong. As advice it might be wrong and it might be right, depending on your personality and the personality of the person you are talking to.
If you confess to your enemy/nemesis/opponent they will simply use the information against you and make things worse. You have to discriminate and talk to people if you think/feel it is going to me alright. Volunteer councillors could be worse than uselss: they a have their own agenda and it is nothing to do with you. Only trained councellors are any good and then only about 10% of them.
Depression is a sign that things ain't quite right. You might want to go back back home to Argentina. Run away and live to play another day.

some people act like i've got the bubonic plague when i tell them that i USED TO HAVE depression
ridiculous stuff
Long distant running is often seen as helpful with a depressive mind. Maybe some should consider it?
