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 my meds for almost a year now with the dose getting bigger and bigger and my symptoms getting worse and worse with every dosage increase and in all my wonderfully infanate depressed wisdom i made my mind up that it was my meds making me worse so like an idiot i took myself off of them that was last weekend i have crashed so hard today cant stop crying barley functioning i feel awful and i feel like an awful parent because i cant even muster the strenghth to play with my little girl today i hate myself seems like i do nothing but let the people in my life that i love down.
Get back on your medications and think about seeing the doctor for a medication change if you have not been getting better this whole year, could be the wrong medications for you. Tell the doctor what you've said here.
Hope you can feel better soon.
i firmly believe that the trial-and-error process will be worth it in the long run, but i've gone through withdrawal taking myself off too, not a good idea, and we learn it the hardest way, don't we?
i know it's hard to look past the negativity, but try to focus on this idea: you can't hate yourself for being sick. you can definitely get mad at the illness though, depression is to blame for your lack of strength!
hugs to you. you can get through this.
