So, for the people who are depressed or have been did any of you consider not taking any meds? Did you not take them and then later decide to take them? I've never been depressed so I don't know as much about the feeling and the need for or dislike of meds.

Sorry sweetheart, I use to be able to flip the script to all seriousness, but I cannot let a bad thread down... LOL...
To answer you question though: I take meds. I have to take them to live from day to day. I can decide not to take them and within 2 weeks or less, I will be spending money like I have some, painting my house a crazy color and every other word a 4 letter one... Then I will drop faster than a roller coaster and want to hurt myself because I cannot understand what happened to me and why I am the worst person the world...
I thought I grow out of it, but now I have hit perimenopause, and it has gotten worse... Don't think it will ever get better. When I am up, the back of my head lights up, but I cannot see the light head on... When I am low, I cry, sleep and eat.
There are quite a few of us on GC. They have the choice to come forward. But for their protection, I am not recommending it.
