Had a resurgence of depression over the past few weeks, which has been really weird to deal with, because for the first time I feel like there's nothing really wrong in my life environmentally which could be causing this. I've always suspected that my depression was just a matter of chemical illness, but this makes it feel quite definitely true.

Good luck with the fluoxetine. It worked for me and was functional and normal on it, but the side effects were so bad I couldn't keep on with it.

*hug* Hope it works for you, are you just taking SSRIs or are you also seeing a CPN or someone for talking therapy? I did both together for the first few months and the combination worked for me in terms of giving me a way of managing my health without it impacting hugely in other areas of my life (for example, I didn't have to take much time off work, just odd days here and there when I felt really bad).

*hugs* accepting when it's chemical can be v freeing I think
