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.
I have been on Celexa 18 days, but my mood seems to have gotten worse. I find it harder and harder to get up in the morning, and my desire to do anything is also getting worse.
I cant seem to think of anything positive, it is all BAD BAD BAD.
I have my family and friends worried, I feel guilt and shame for everything I have ever done. I dont ever smile, and laughing is out of the question.

I know how you feel sweetheart, as do many people here. Have you been on meds before? How long have you suffered from depression? I'm going to go and read your profile now x

The meds will still take some time to work, 6 weeks, give or take, for your system to get used to them. Be patient.

I've been on it for a few weeks now and things are getting a little better for me. Just give it some more time to kick in.

Profile is incomplete, I have been on paxil before, have suffered depression before, but never like this. I have just created a lot of problems for myself, and dont feel like there is a way out.

I'm on Paxil now (2 months) and I'm slowly but surely getting better, I've been on Celexa too but that just made me fat and no less depressed lol. If you're comfortable talking about the situations you've created post them on here, odds are someone else here will have been through it. I'll be thinking about you hun xxx

you are days past calling your doctor. Call the doc and tell him/her how you are feeling now. It may need to be readjusted or something new started. Dont give up hope. Just keep going and get the right med.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
