Open Depression

Not just yet.

Treatments

Celexa Not Working

The effects of this drug, although probably what it's designed for, I didn't like, I felt it dulled everything, and stopped me from thinking things through in a focused way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Considering

I'm not sure, but I think I had a particularly good therapist, otherwise, I don't think I'd have been able to do it. The process was painful, but some things made sense, and now I can identify some things which worked. He recommended further CBT in the future, and he thought that it was beneficial.

Seroquel Not Working

I still have mostly a full pack of this. It was given to take when required, but either when I need it I am in too much of a state to take it, or I am very disturbed but too calm to justify taking it. Also only small immediate effect, then about 4 hours after feel awful, drugged, exhausted...

Support from Friends & Family Not Working

I was encouraged to invole my mother, so I talked to her, and my sister who I relate most to, Mum had a carers assessment, I wish I had not involved her, I am caused more pain and discomfort, and feeling things that I really do not want to feel, frustrated, it was in the open, and she let it be burried again.

Writing Somewhat Helpful

I keep my own private journal, it is bad to re-read previous entries, although this I sometimes do, I worry about people finding it, it is very one way, I can write negative things in there and they are not challenged, and it makes them stronger, but it acts in a sort of similar way to talking to a person, and gives vent to pain, feels like action, feels controlled in a way.

Zoloft Not Working

I tried a few medications, and although they worked in a way, I didn't feel that they were good for me, I didn't like how they made me feel, unable to react emotionally, or be affected by things, I didn't feel this was healthy.
