Need help about antidepressants?

Damn where do I start... ok so Im honestly lost, ive been depressed since I was about 14 but I never took any medications I just learned to deal with it. I'm now 25 and haven't attempted suicide in over 2 years (im proud of myself) and now I'm getting frustrated because I try and be happy and I usally feel like I am but when im alone everything changes. So I try not to be alone or try not to think so I watch tv or play games online with other people. So now im here, pissed off because yesterday I was "happy" and today I can barely do any work im teary eyed for no reason I just dont know what to do. So here is my issue I genuinely feel happy when im around my girlfriend or friends and family I joke around and laugh and I really do feel happy, if I start taking antidepressants will all that go away? Will I no longer feel happy when I do "feel" happy?

    By taking antidepressants you will not lose the good times your having, as long as you find the right medication. Not trying to scare you off but certain ones could have reverse effect and not be helpful. But for you i think it might be best to start one and just monitor how you feel. It also may take awhile till you see effects, so don't start changing your meds till you see some sort of effect

    Go to the doctor before you try antidepressants dude. They're bad ******* news. Maybe lok up the plants that have been chemically altered befor turned into drugs and make a herbal anti depressant tea? I don't know, mightn't have been much help. I'm depressed as **** too and I honestly think i'm losing my mind but it's better than killing yourself because one you're dead, thats it.

    Antidepressants are bad news. Google the side effects.
