Where do I go from here? |
I'm 18 years old and have had depression since 14 and has gradually got
worse, and now it's almost unbearable.
Took me a while to go to the doctors but I went when I was 17... I
wanted medication but she wouldnt give me any... fair enough
So a year goes by and I changed doctors.. the new 1 first put me on
Lexapro.. which worked a little but I soon came off them... then put on
Prozac, which didnt work, but I havent been back to the docs since.
It's hard trying to deal with myself when its more comfortable just
doing nothing about it
My depression is the worse its ever been im slowly losing friend by
friend because I feel so unsociable all the time and now I have college
exams and when thats over I have no clue what I'll do!
Been reading a book by nathaniel branden, and the techniques he uses
are very interesting... and when I do them I normally do feel a bit
better about myself but then after a couple of days I get lazy or stop
doing them... I think maybe I can get better if I just kept at them
without giving up.. but who knows
Anyone have any advice
.

Sounds like me. And ya can't explain it to anyone. I have been
avoiding my cousin, whom I connected with after 25 years, at my
father's funeral. I finally listened to her message on my cell
tonight, and she said, "Hi Bri....I think you're depressed....I've been
there....wanna go for a walk?" which surprised the hell outta me. Of
course, I haven't responded. When I was younger, my friends would say,
"aw, you just think too much." I used to be bored, now I'm paranoid
about owning this house and living with an aging friend. But that's
another story. I wish you some relief, soon. I have made a commitment
to see my pdoc monthly, ending 5 years of sporadic meds. He says it's
like steering an oil tanker...Ya gotta start here and wait till it goes
left. Peace, out...as all the kids say.

it. I am 25 and suffer similar problems...
