What do you do when you feel depressed?? I only want people to answer if they seriously have ever been depressed, not just pious people who think they have the right cheeky answers. I get depressed alot but I do NOT want to take medication because then medication will run my life. I just want to be able to cope.

I was first prescribed effexor 12 years ago for post natal depression. My father in law died the week before our son was born – his first granchild. I was on it for 18 months and then again 6 years later during a period of real stress at work. That was a year. Then again 3.5 years later for 3 years when my mother in law was diagnosed with cancer and I lost 3 family members and 3 friends in 12 months. I nursed my MIL and finally lost her 2 years ago within 10 hours of losing my dog. I was on effexor – gradually reducing until 1 month ago – when it all went wrong. GP stopped the Effexor and put me on prozac, 20 mg. For the last month I have had really ups and really bads downs, anger in quite explosive bursts – I always had the awful sweats and for the last year unbearably itchy upper arms. Now I am beginning to wonder if I will ever get better – and if I do will it always be with pills – and is that a bad thing?
Your opinions and experiences might help me feel normal again.
I’ve tried counselling – 3 different times – it didn’t work – I am interested in the meditation aspect though.

Just knowing that so many other people have the same “feelings” and I’m not really crazy helps
I’m going to choose the best answer – but each answer here gave me information and hope – thank you to everyone who took the time to care about someone else.
