Dealing with my mess

Hi. This is my first post. I have had depression for many years. The medications my dr has had me on the past two years have not helped, in fact I feel like they have ruined my life. I have lets bills pile up, cc go to collections, business rev can payments not made, slightly neglected family...on and on. I have also been lying to my husband about the money problems so he won't be mad at me. These medications have me feeling this is all ok because I can forget all this stuffy until I get mail to remind me. Over the past week I had a huge breakdown. Someone I know called mental health about me and my husband talked to them. He has since aleviated some of my stress but i still can't bring myself tocome totally clean about everything. I called dr yesterday to say I need my meds changed but he never called back. I feel so alone even though I have 3 great kids at home. I felt the need to get this all out there but suprise, it didn't help. i have a killer headache and jst want to take somethi g and sleep a while but can't.

Hi Sadnlonelytoo,

I can relate to you in alot of ways. I have felt the same way many times. It okay you havent done anything that bad. Your only human. We make mistakes. Anyway, I would call your doctor and tell him how you feel. Im on a few different meds. Also, Im new here and post alot about my feeling. It helps me. Its hard to be completely honest like you did. Glad you are here.

Hi Sadnlonleytoo,

I'm sorry for what your going through I'm new here as well. It's not easy to reach out and tell someone you need help. I don't have a lot of experience with the medication or therapy peice but I guess it's all a process. I'm here if you need to talk.

Thank you both. I'm going to have to call my councillor today because my dr still hasn't called back. Maybe she can help.

Hi, I'm new here but have been dealing with depression for many years (33 yr old male here). I'm sorry you have to deal with the stress that comes with recovery; sometimes it can seem worse! Please understand that, even though these issues came up, you are making progress! I am glad you sought help!

By the way, kudos for being so proactive! Please keep me informed and feel free to message me (or anyone else, I'm sure) if you just want to talk. Keep your head up!
