You are definitely not a failure just because you had to have your medication dose increased. It was so brave of you to acknowledge that your depression was coming back and to go to your doctor for help.
I hope that the medication helps, and that you start to feel better soon. Take good care of yourself and hang in there.

I am glad that you recognized that you needed more help. You are certainly not a failure for needing your medication adjusted. You should not feel bad about telling your doctor how you are feeling. The only way they can help you is if you are honest with them. I hope your new medication dosage begins to work for you soon. Thank you for your prayers.
