Congratulations on getting help and getting better.
I don't really care if you're nicer or anything, but I just wanted to say good job on being brave enough to get help.

Good luck. Depression isn't easy. Just remember that anti-depressants aren't treatment, they just allieve symptoms so that therapists (or you yrself) can address the causes of the symptoms without having to wade through them.

And yeah, being able to talk to people is great. We're social creatures, we have to talk and share if we want to be healthy.

I have bipolar disorder and I am taking anti-depressants because of it.

My parents don't know about it...probably better this way.

Dsiorder blows though.

Meh, I wish it was that simple.

I get up and down randomly. Medicine makes it more stable and less "random" but still, it doesn't do much. When I hit depression stage, I'm stuck there, which is rather horrible.

This.
While I don't think it matters at all if you know it, it is the truth. I don't care what you're diagnosed with, chemical depression is not because something is wrong with your body and the drugs treat it. You're chemically depressed because emotions feelings can have neurological impacts, and change the chemical levels. By altering them with drugs, you're not fixing the problem, you're masking it. It is helpful if you do it short-term in order to feel better and allow you to fix the depression naturally, but if you rely on them for to long it hurts your body and makes it much harder to have the problem actually and naturally resolved.

I could also hold a conversation for more than 2 minutes, which i like.

Good for you, man. Anxiety and depression is never an easy thing to face.

Best of luck to you & the success of yr treatment.
