There is a difference in my life before and after meds. I feel the anxiety/ depression fighting within ( on Low dose Effexor) and settled with meds. And my mind not able to relax unless on meds. . Once a while, I still have that. And when I was on research studies with various drugs, I have felt better and none whereas I was on placebo . I noticed the difference very quick. I had a bad experience once whereas I was a zombie- yuck. And another where I felt like I was having heart issues. I feel family history of 3 generations having depression - my parents both depressed ... my father perhaps situational- after retirement/ heart issues. Although weekends with him as a child and teenager; spend entire weekends watching sports on tv- um.. He did not like my mom leaving the house. Something strange there.
FYI

I admire the way you are looking at your family history and behavior, @bookysue. You are certainly getting some good clues as to the origins of the depression in your family.
