Hi Cubbybear, Depression certainly makes me feel brain damaged. This happened to me before and the pattern was the same. I began worrying about my brain, then the depression hit hard. I imagine organic damage from solvents, carbon monoxide etc. I get CO detectors and watch them in my house. I ask people if they have a feeling in there head and flip out when they say no. At the very lowest the inside of my head feels like a vacuum and as if my brain is bleeding - thats when I have sobbing spells. My memory and recall goes and I feel confused. I even have trouble talking. I came out of this before (exact same series of events) with help of medication and I'm working on believing I will again. I only found one med (non-SSRI) that helped me too, but now I'm exploring others (including non ADs) to see if I can find one with less side effects. So you're not alone with the brain damage symptoms. Helps me to here others with those symptoms too. My brother lives in China, I'd love to visit him but I can't get the energy up. Michael73
