I think I'm just used to nothing working, so I'm expecting this to be the same.
"I feel like a burden to other too, or that I'm bothering them. But how can we really know someone unless we don't try to get to know them. For me I was so afraid to reach out for help but once I did alot of the people struggled with the exact things I did and they helped me and we grew closer, now I know I can really trust them. Is it worth risking you bothering them over a possible long friendship you might get? You can't live your life by yourself without others help. Sometimes your only choice is to bother people to get help. You need to help you before you can do anything else like be great at your job."
Yes, I know this makes sense. I just seem to never be able to get the words out, or get across what I'm really trying to say. I get shy because I don't really know the people I'm seeing now yet.
"How long have you struggled with suicide and unstable moods?"
I first attempted suicide at 15. But I was depressed for a long time before this. I'm now 19 (well, on Friday) and even though in this time I've had short periods of being OK, they never last long.

Well what do you know, I'm also 19, also first attempted at 15, have been depressed longer. Have been struggling since. See, we have things in common because you opened up to me.
I also have bills to pay, people to take care of, my life is not really just my own but effects others to.i have lost people most dear to me, actually an anniversary will be Saturday.
I hope you talk with your pdoc and he may give you another med to help. But don't just give up because you think its not working. And besides meds can't do all the work, it takes changing your thought patterns and developing coping skills too.
