I have finally came to realize that I am suffering from depression. I have been suffering for years now. I dont know what to do about it. I have been thinking about taking Meds but I am scared, because I just dont trust taking ALL kinds of Meds. I just feel so emptu And like I have lost myself. I use to be a happy And a postive person always eing from within. I use to love to write and had dreams And goals. I use to get a high off of that alone. Now my smile is gone. Iam always ask why i look so sad, mean or mad. I hate crowds or being around to many people. My attude sucks And i always complain about something. Thank God i still have a Little hope, because I do believe prayer Change And i will overcome this disorder. Its just so hard..

Has a doctor of some kind spoken to you about medications for treating depression?

Medication isn't all bad. Please get help. Even if your only on meds for a while you can get off of them eventually. I know how bad it feels.

Redd, not all medications are bad. I've been depressed since I was a very small child.
If it wasn't for medications I'm sure I'd be dead now. I've been thru therapy and that helped, but I was still depressed. I HAD to have medications, and now I feel GOOD. Things look brighter, and I have lots of hope.  Medications CAN make a huge difference. The meds that I'm on didn't cause any side effects. There ARE some like that. And most side effects go away with time. So talk to your doctor or therapist if you have one. If you don't have a therapist, GET ONE. You do need to talk to someone. Therapy DOES HELP. I wish you the very best. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee

I agree with the above posters,
Therapy and medication does help. And one can help without the other, and they can work together to be helpful. I would strongly consider talking with a doctor about treatment for depression, you can look into therapy or look into medication and see what your options are. |

How about looking into Deplin or Niacin? I have 2 family members who both swear these work. They are all types of med-weary, and by no means new-agey, but opted for a more natural approach... Apparantly these nutrients (?) make up for what some of our brains cannot produce or metabolize naturally and so cause a constant depression... I pray you find your path to welllness, whichever route you choose

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