I went online, and out of 10 symptoms, I would say 7 or 8 were right in my wheelhouse. Nine if I'm being honest.

Has any of you ever suffered from depression? Did you take medication? Which medications work? Don't work? Did you feel better after taking meds?

I honestly don't know what could have caused it. I live a healthy lifestyle (no drugs, not even booze), I'm not broke, and I'm a pretty laid back guy. For the most part, pretty stress free. I hate feeling like this.
