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.

I decided after a few months of changing my dr. and trying to get off of medication that I was wrong. It just is not working. I got back in touch with my old dr. and will see her next week. I cancelled with the new one, they wanted to know why. I assured them that it was not them, but that there is just too much change in my life right now, and that I thought I could handle different meds or no meds, but I was very wrong. I feel significantly less depression and anxiety on the days I take my original med, so I am just going to return to what works. I had originally quit due to being worried about long term side effects, but there are just too many problems to mention. My thoughts go all to the wrong place, and I stay awake until dawn, this is just not working out. It's not healthy. I hope she won't be too upset and that we can continue on the path that we were because I was slipping. I tried to be nice with the new dr. office, I just explained that the change is just very destabilizing for me and that I need to stick with what works. It wasn't anything they did or did not do. So much has changed in my life, I just can't handle the destabilization of a bunch of meds that don't work for me when there was one that did the trick pretty much.

My best friend ruined my day with her immature, bitchy self. If she doesn't get her way, she has a tizzy fit. I told her weeks ago that I couildn't go to yard sales with her on 9/12 because i have a hair appointment. She wasn't happy. I also told her that I don't have any money to go to yard sales. She tried to talk me into going to more yard sales by saying that if I don't go, there...
I wouldn't worry about long term side effects that may or may not even happen. I was on an anxiety drug that the most common side effect was weight gain. I never gained any weight. I actually lost some weight. So these drug companies sometimes put down any and every side effect that *might* happen, to like 1% of the population. Try not to worry about side effects. The benefits outweigh any possible side effects (that probably won't happen anyway, as every person is different)..
