My antidepressant is a godsend and I'm sure that without it, I'd be completely non-functional by now. But the problem is that now I'm terrified of being sad or in a down mood. I know that almost everyone just has "off" days when they're generally down, but now, when it happens to me, I'm terrified that it means that my meds are losing their effectiveness. I hate it. I want to cry for no reason and that terrifies me and I hate that I'm so afraid.

Even when I'm "cured", my depression as a stranglehold on me.

I'm not on any medication and never have been and every now and then I have rough days where tears seem only a blink away. I think everyone has them. Particularly when there is stress in many areas of life (i.e. looking for new job, looking for new place, looking for new friends ... whatever). Some of that feeling is normal.
