...and you'll get a pretty good idea of what clinical depression must have been like in the days before meds.
Secondly, stay on your meds (assuming your doctor agrees)...there is no more reason to go off depression meds than there is to go off insulin as a diabetic. It may take months or years, and it may take a change in meds, but with prayer and meds you'll get there.
Thirdly, try to find a Christian therapist (not just a clergyperson, but someone trained in psychotherapy). I found that very helpful when I expereinced what you are talking about.
Good luck!
