Well about a year ago I became somewhat depressed.

And I decided to go see a doctor. I got medication and it helped, but I have never been the same. For I use to be very funny and now I'm just a sad guy. Will I ever be me again? I had rather die in my sleep and go to Heaven the to spend the rest of my life like this.

Hey restokley,

Some tips:
1) get up and take a shower first thing - even if you go back to lay in bed.  It can help get you going
2) Healthy mind-healthy body.  Improve your diet, sleep if possible, exercise.  And be patient for the results to eventually follow
3A) Make a to-do list.  Don't beat yourself up when you can't, but if you can try and then try to do some of the things on the list.  Also try to do some things, if not every day, try every week or every couple weeks, where when you do them you are moving forward in your week, month, year, moving forward in your life or on a particular issue - so whatever that is to you - and it doesn't have to be monumental stuff, can be little projects, but where you are moving forward.  
3B) Someone told me too that action comes first, then motivation, even if we tend to think it's the other way around.  So don't just wait for energy or motivation to suddenly appear.  Try to act - little by little - despite the lack of energy - doing what you should with diet, exercise, as much as you can, accomplishing your goals, little by little, then the results will follow, and as you see the results, could get more and more energy etc.
4) If possible, I also recommend seeing a psychologist too
5) Know that this isn't forever.  You just have to trust that, or regardless take actions anyway, and you'll eventually see that it's not forever.  When you're in the middle of it, it's hard to see this, but it's not forever.  I've been there, and felt like it could be forever then, it felt boundless, but then the haze disappears, and it sort of happens all of a sudden in a way after just keeping at it, little by little the pieces came together, and then it went away for me

You say "somewhat" depressed.  You say you saw a doctor and got medication, but it certainly doesn't seem to be working, it seems to be making the situation worse.  The question is, if you were only suffering a bout of being somewhat depressed why did you go to a doctor instead of a psychologist to see what was going on?  Those drugs aren't little magic pills, they won't cure you, and it takes time to find one that actually works but even when it works it doesn't solve a problem, it's just sometimes the best we can do.  If how you describe your situation is correct you were not a candidate for medication.  So many people on this forum go their doctor for an emotional problem, but general docs don't study psychology or psychopharmacology.  All they know how to do is match symptom to drug from a manual.  Your doctor should have referred you to a psychologist.  That's where you should head now.  The medical system is very hard to negotiate, but do try.  Good luck.
