I've been without meds for a while now, i can't cope anymore, whether its the meds or not, or just life in general everything seems to be ten times more difficult than it used to be.... =/ i feel tired all the time and i just can't feel normal anymore, i don't understand this at all
Life seemed fine for a while again, something turned it back upsidedown and no one seems to understand that at all =[ |

Get back on your meds Jai Jai FAST!
... if you don't have the cash look into alternative care from your local mental health facilities in the area. Good luck! |

I've been on medication for depression, anxiety and PTSD for years. Every several years I think I can go without my meds and stop them, or they stop working and I need new meds. Either one gets me back to crazy.
 So don't look at what's happening to you as failure, if you had cancer and needed chemo, or were diabetic and needed insulin, would you feel like a failure? No different with meds and therapy for our mental health illness.When I stop the meds or they stop working I'll be doing okay for a while, but then I get to the can't cope / overwhelmed / suicidal stage. I'm still in the process of accepting the fact that I need to be on meds for the rest of my life and I'll always be broken. I keep learning more ways to cope, and meds get discovered that are better. So that's hope.

Can't stop you from praying and blessing me, and if that makes you feel better feel free.  But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me. And let's all respect each other's feelings. With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."

You're not a failure. If you need meds, you need meds. When (if) I come off mine, I've already been told that no matter what, I've learned to recognize the signs of my own depression and am now equipped to recognize and deal with it when it crops up. You are not a failure, you are equipped!

I agree with the other posts - you are not a failure. Try to get back on the meds if they were working for you. Being on meds does not make you a failure

jai-jai,
good advice and support I'd like to also add a thought of mine about depression returning...I just came out of a period of feeling down. I try and look at it as a rest stop. We are on a path of healing and sometimes we stumble or take a detour...it is not about failure. We are doing the best we can so please don't beat yourself up over this... please do see about meds, talking with a T or pdoc, at the very least, Keep posting and let us know how you are, ok? We Care I Care Catherine

You didn't fail anything. You have a disease, you have done nothing wrong.
Call a doc,or a T, you don't deserve to feel this way.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
