Pat yourself on the back, smile and get on with your life. You are obviously a lot stronger and well adjusted than you think!

Actually, depression depends on whether you can put down what is weighing on you.

If you could just let go and do not think of your unhappy past and be a forgiving person, you will be become a happier person. Trust me, this is my personal experience.

I have the SAME issue!! and yes it is possible that you are still depressed or having anxiety issues... i noticed that i would be taking meds for a while and then i feel that i am better so i stop taking them... but about a month later i would be right back down to where i was! My doctor told me that there are many people that have to stay on medications more than likely all their life or at least a huge majority of the time, Its caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain that is causing you to feel this way especially the anxiety issue... So talk to your doctor and tell them EVERYTHING that you are feeling, maybe they just need to get you on a low dose of something =) I hope everything works out for you!!

I still get those feelings as well. I was never on any meds, 'cause they only make it worse, and I don't want to rely on a pill to be happy. I wouldn't go back to them unless you absolutely need to. Eventually if you solve the problem, you'll end your depression.

try getting some exercise

Meds wont cure you, many people who come off them will simply fall back into depression. Thats not to say depression cannot be cured because it can but you need to change how you think. consider Cognitive Behaviour Therapy with medication, I think it will help you a lot. You can either go to a therapist which I suggest, or you could get a book on it. Its mostly common sense but it helped me.

You need to go back to your doctor! Meds CAN help you!
