Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Im curious and wanted to ask this question. I am amazed at how many people suffer from depression, well actually I am not that surprised. I have been chronically depressed and even attempted suicide and I promise you it wasnt for attention! But what I dont understand is why so many of you are unnecessarily suffering. Some dont want to take meds, I knowI was one of those,and I am here to tell you when you get tired of feeling bad all the timeyou will eventually got get on something.
Some of you are on something, know it doesnt work, but wont go back to the dr. for a change. Why:? Some of you are scared to stand up to the dr. and suggest what you think you need. And to that I say: The dr. Works FOR YOU, you dont work for him!
Some of you say you cant afford it and to that I say.there is a way. Some pharmacies will even give you the script. Some manufacturers will give you the meds you need or coupons. And then of course there is humans services and never fail to ask for samples! I get three of my meds by samples. its a pain in that I have to go in every single week to get them, but.it saves me around $350 a month.
So tell me, if not one of the above what is your excuse for not getting the help you need?
One more thing, dont hesitate, no matter how much of a pain it is, to change doctors. I had to change dr.s before I found one that was able to help me immediately.
Im a firm believer in, if there is a way there is a will. Please dont suffer if you can do something about it. I know how you feel. I know how much it hurts. Find the help you need no matter what it takes.
And life is worth living even if you cant see that right now. (((hugs to all)))
My intent for this post is to encourage those of you who are depressed and hurting to do whatever it takes to feel normal again. Go in kicking and screaming if you have to, but you don't deserve to suffer!
Sincerely,
