I'm on anti-depressants, but i'm afraid to not be depressed anymore

so im taking some, but im kinda afraid for some reason, I've been depressed since I was 7 and I dont know what it will be like without depression, is this normal?

Yes, it is quite normal, depression can be comforting in it's own twisted way. Once you're not depressed you have to deal with life and all the rest of it, and that can be scary. But trust me when I say it is worth it. Life's pretty different on the other side (in a good way).

life is scary, depression, can be kinda like a comfort zone, when your not depressed what are you? who are you? I dont remember much before I was 7 but I was a happy kid, now im never happy, only when my friend and I are together (long reasons). It's normal to be scared of changes, I'm scared of lots of things like that...I guess I'm not one to give advice on how to overcome it.But aim for the better I guess? I'd say that if I believed it.

ya I feel that way 2. like depression makes me feel like I understand a lot mroe. almsot like you enderstand life more. I still get depressed sometimes, but luckily I rise above it a lot. im a pretty happy person. :D

I know I will never put my child on anti-depressants inless they come a long way by the time I have children cause I was depressed and they put me on them and then I had no feeling and just wanted to die...it was horrible!!! before I didn't have suicidal thoughts but during the depressants I did...it was dumb...but you sound alright to me

I used to be depressed too but When I got out of depression I felt like never before a great ,different ,happier person.
