| | "Does SJW Wear Off?" , Fri 22 Feb 17:35
Hello--I have been mildly to moderately depressed for (what feels like) most of my life. It seems to have worsened as I entered adulthood (I'm 28); I have constant feelings of worthlessness, helplessness, anxiety and negativity. I can occasionally break out of it and experience pleasure, but that's becoming more and more rare. I feel most badly about my partner--he's been very patient generally and he knows what it's like to be depressed, but I know that I can be awful to live with.
Yesterday I got some really bad news a kind of snapped--not in a bad way, I guess, because I've finally decided to try to do something about my depression. I picked up some SJW and am waiting to see what happens.
This (wonderful!) page has taught me about dosages, brands, etc. But I didn't find the answer to one question: Does SJW ever stop working? I was on Prozac in college (hated it) and learned that it, and most mood drugs, are only useful for a limited period of time. Is this also true of SJW?
I'm also like to say that this page helped me to decide to help myself. Reading through the descriptions of people's symptoms made me realize that what I'm experiencing is not unusual. It is *very easy* to feel alone and hopeless when you're depressed.
