Hello, I'm 28 yrs old and I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for almost 8 yrs. I have stopped taking antidepressants since I'd rather have highs and lows than not feel at all. I really just need to talk to people who have similar situations.

Welcome mslocked, I'm also 28. Been dealing with anxiety, panic disorder, and depression for roughly 10 years. This is a great place to find like minded people!
Hey I'm 29 I get some highs and lows and battling it most of the times... it's tough I never took any anti depressants but I think of myself as a warrior I conquer loneliness and it's a battle for me most of the times. If you get through the difficult situations and find some sort of happiness I think it's an achievement. I'm here to support you
Thank you. I don't thrive to conquer loneliness, I embrace it. I enjoy being alone and tend to push people away. I go to work and the gym and even do my best to avoid human contact there.
Hello, I'm 35 and suffer from depression and anxiety as well. You sound just like me; I basically go to work and to the gym and home. I pushed a lot of people away and it didn't bother me up until recently. I've been feeling very lonely lately. I don't need to constantly be around people, but it would be nice to have someone once in a while to do something with.
Hope all goes well for all of. I haven't have a proper treatment n just stopped going to my job again. My country isn't great on treatment.
which country are you living in
Hi. I can relate to you. I'm 29 and dealing with same thing. I'm not sure if I can handle on no medication though cause I seem to have extreme mood swings but at least not having the side affects might help but I need to talk to my doctor first.
I am just wondering if you were not on the right medication(s) or improper doses. I am medicated but still feel. I just feel like I am the kiddie roller coaster rather than a crazy one with extreme drops and loops. It took me quite a while to find the right combination and dosages that keep me pretty regulated.
I was on the same meds, but tried different dosages. I'm now looking into a more holistic approach to see if that makes any difference. I've read a lot of testimonials about a product called Sam-E and how it's made a positive impact on people with depression.
I'm 28 too. I've been struggling with depression and mood since the person I loved left me for someone else. I haven't been able to love another. My parents have a screwed up relationship and I'm screwed up by it. I feel as though I'll never be able to live a normal life. I lost all my friends, and 1-hr a week therapy isn't enough. I've been trying to keep myself in good shape but I wonder what it's all for.
