Any positive stories about taking anti-depressants?

...See more I guess it might not be a great place to ask since people who've gotten a really positive effect from them probably wouldn't spend much time here....but I was wondering if anyone had some positive stories to share about taking anti-depressants? I was at the doctors the other day for something completely unrelated. (I have a weird phlegmy situation going on in my throat and I'm constantly feeling the need to clear my throat as a result, the doctor said I must have some kind of irratation and he gave me a prescription for a nasal spray) I'm not sure if I've become a Hypchondriac. I mean I'm certain my throat problems aren't just in my head but I freaked out about so much beforehand, I thought I had a Thyroid Cancer. (for no reason other than the "wisdom" of the internet) I also think I had some anxieties about my adam's apple. Every once in a while I start thinking it's a tumor. I also ended up at the hospital for an x-ray a few months ago because I had weird pains in my chest....only for it to come back as nothing. It sounds pretty bad when I line them all up together like that... and I must be like an open book because we then started talking about life, happiness and plans for the future. (well to be fair lately I've been feeling really off, so I wasn't really trying to hide it) He suggested therapy and "something to make you feel better" and asked me if I wanted him to set it in motion for me. I wanted to say yes but I said maybe instead. :/ I told him I'd come back in two weeks to report on how well the nasal spray is working....so I guess he'll ask me about it again. On one hand it sounds like something that could actually help (rather than endlessly reading silly self help articles online) but on the other hand you hear some scary stories about people talking medication. Anyone have anything to share about this?

...See more Does anyone feel like it's hard to know if you're depressed? I mean where does "feeling sorry for yourself" end and "depression" begin? What if I'm just really lazy? I feel like it's really difficult to have perspective on this, it's almost like I have to try looking outside of myself. I know I should see somebody but in a way doing that would make it seem more real. The thing is I've been "not sure if I'm depressed" for about 2-3 years now.
