Did any one of you suffered from depression (not just feeling blue, but a feeling of extreme sadness that leaves you nearly paralyzed)? If so, what brought these feelings on, how long did the depression last and what therapies solves your depression?

I have been depressed. What caused it was an accident, and surgery. The doctor would not release me to go back to work for over a year, there were financial problems, and basically a lot of boredom. I ended up staying at home way too much, the only way I could go anywhere was if someone else drove me. I did go to therapy and take medication, but I think what helped me the most was the love of my family and the fact that I could get back to work. Sitting around the house in pain is no way to live, I can tell you that. I was on medication for a year. The doctor said that was standard practice. I wanted off of it really bad, because I felt like I did not need it. It turned me into a zombie, and I hated that feeling.
