Hello guys and gals, I ran across this website after searching on google for a bit. Anyway I'm 17 and I'm a male, since as long as I can remember I've been depressied. But in the 7th grade it severely took over my life. I first started out going to my family medical doctor, she treated me with minior anxiety pills, also after the severity worsened she told me of her family's depression after he husbands sucide and asked if I wanted anti-depressents, for 2 years I saw her with several anti-depressents. She moved offices, we decided to change doctors.
I began seeing a new medical doctor and she also did the same, but urged me to see a phycologists. I finally said yes, but I first say a phyciatrists(the ones who prescribe meds) just for a 1 time counselotation. This being my 8th grade year, I was already beggining to feel , well I felt i'd never get better. After being prescribed a new med this being my 7th or so I saw yet again no help.
After being urged yet again to see a therapist, I went. He was a very respectable man. I saw him for over a year, and in that time saw a new phyciatrist and was prescribed zoloft,cymbalta(currently on again),wellburtrin,etc you name it I've took it(mostly).
Since I've been to 3 others, making 5 total therapists, and over 2 dozen meds since my 7th grade year. Your probably wondering what is making me depressed? The word speaks its own story because its unknown sadness, but there is always something that continues , for one I have a family background of depression(mom,grandparents). And for 17 I have a highly mature brain(so they say). I'm so so so tired of life, I'm on my ways end.
Lately I've tried internet support,family support, and worst of all friends. Being in highschool no teen espcially other males want to help in this, I've lost all my friends, I could explain why but i've already wrote a book, look i'll go now....thanks for reading.
