Is this anyone else's experience?

Ive been diagnosed MDD for a couple of years now (5/6yrs.) I wasnt like this before, its most likely medication induced and since having stopped the medication the depression still hasn't gone away. I feel empty, I feel very little positive emotions, all thats left of me is the memory of who I used to be. The memories of feeling normal, of experiencing joy, of being motivated of the person I used to be. My therapist has told me this is likely just how I am now after the medication and im probably going to be like this for the rest of my life...and im afraid. Is there anyone else who can relate to this? I want to know that im not alone, id like to hear about your experience and what its been like for you.
