thank you for your replies...I have anti-depressants...3 of them when I take them...but sometimes I think they just keep me in that numb stage...which i don't like either...either way, whether i take them or not..i still don't feel to well...
I went to a counselor once...and haven't been back cause i don't have the money and because i don't really like to talk...that's just me..I've always been a very private person...what happens to me, stays with me....
and i have a dr appt tomorrow..so i can get my bp chked so that then i get my eyes check and get my classes...which i really need...
but still....I just don't feel well...I just don't care about anything...and I am just sad...Sad...SAD!....
Now i have to try to get some things done...so i guess I'll see y'all later...but before I go, I wanted to share a thought I had today while brushing my teeth...Yeah, I brushed them today!....
I think i had a realization that one of the reasons i am so sad...is because I am not doing anything productive...I'm not doing anything for me...anything that i want to do...I just sit here and worry about everything and everyone else...and don't do nothing for me...
When i get back, this evening...I need to explore that further!!! I think...
I wish you the best of luck. I am where you are, sort of. But i can't recommend the way I am coping because it is unsustainable. Do you think that perhaps you're on the wrong antidepressants? Have you tried some atypical ones like welbutrin? They might help you! It sounds like you're not doing too well right now.
Good luck exploring that tonight and sharing here; I'd love to read what you conclude. Feel free to message me (is that possible on this website? I am so new) if you don't feel like posting everything here.
i understand you completely; I can't open up to therapists too well. I am constantly trying to please them, and i know it's counterproductive, but I guess i have that mentality of not burdening people with the ugly things in my life.
I think you do.
