Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Ironically the opposite is more likely.
I have ADHD and am (now) medicated for it. Interestingly, I've noticed it's become less effective. Not because my meds work worse, but that my brain works better. It now knows what a focused flow state feels like. It's become easier to recreate it, even without the support of medication.
I suspect depression meds would do the same. The medication supports you in a better mental state. Your own brain learns that state and that it feels better. Eventually, you might not need the meds to hold that state. If you do, however, that's also fine. The goal is to be the best version of you.
