I had a nervous breakdown in June 2017. I've been recovering since that time, and slowly pieces of myself are coming back. It's been such a long process, I wish I had gone on antidepressants to begin with. It's been months of crippling anxiety, panic attacks, depression.

I've been living at home this whole time -- it's dawning on me how terrible it's making me feel now. I get that I had to take the time to recover, but now I'm starting to feel depressed, and I'm in a state of complete shock over what happened. I'm nervous about this triggering another breakdown.

Would now be a good time to take antidepressants? Has anyone had a nervous breakdown before?
