Finally got some help, was on SSRI's for a while, feel alot better now, but academically I was so fucked because I couldn't go to class I was so anxious, and then would get depressed about it and the cycle turned on itself. I needed to get out of the situation for a while
So if anybody feels shitty, get some help, its easy and can help.

i've gone through this...maybe still am..but if I am, I think its towards the tail end of it. had a doctor finally diagnose me with something...and I read about it..and it sounds right on. supposedly it chills out around mid 20s... best of luck to you..for real. it's pretty shitty..thats all i really have to say.
and heaven, while i'll agree with you that depression is a state of mind, so is everything else ...i think i could argue...for example--physical pain.. may sound stupid--or you may get what i mean. if not willing to explain in detail my reasoning behind this.
and you are wrong about medication. i went through a shit ton. finally got switched to something like a little less than a year ago...only took it for like two months because it was so expensive..and had to quit cold turkey (which you def are not supposed to do...and had withdrawals for about 4-6 weeks). anyways, once i was 'off', i felt more 'normal' than i had in the last 7 years. no 'drug' i've ever tried made me feel sooo good, (and i was not on anything), and im not even joking..
