I feel like I'm on an edge of a cliff just barely hanging on...I can't stop crying and its a very hard, intense cry...I'm on psych meds and I think they are whats causing the depression...I called to see if I could get an earlier appt. than July 16th and the receptionist said, "You have an appt. already you don't need another one"...My psychiatrist knows I'm going through a really rough time and she told me that if I needed to see her sooner, to call...Evidently she forgot I have to go through a receptionist who is a &&&&&&&&&...
I only have one person in my life other than my T and I have a feeling my T isn't going to be around much longer...I can't do this life anymore!!!!...No, I won't commit suicide but I pray that something happens to me on its own...My family doesn't give a flying flip about me so won't faze them... I had some tests run and they came out fine, what is happening to me is mental...Mountains keep looking taller, the weight on my shoulders is getting heavier and I just want to curl up into a ball...Find Peace |

*hugs* I don't know what to say really, but just letting you know someone out there cares.

Hi FindPeace,
I first want to say that I know the depression you are feeling. My heart goes out to you (((FindPeace))) Please call your pysch again right away. If you know her emergency number or pager call that. Anything to bypass the receptionist. Sometimes if you call after hours you can get those numbers from the voicemail. Don't stop trying. If you can't get a response today you may want to call your local crisis line to see if they can refer you to a hospital ED that has good mental health care. I know that depression (for me) is like a giant wall I can't see over and I know the answer is on the other side. You won't be able to see anything until you get some relief for the depression. Hang in there and PM me if you want. __________________ ...you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. WtP |

I hear you and I am standing right beside you. I know the depression you speak of and of how parallying it can be. I understand how that cliff feels so steep and that you are sliding off the edge. But hang on dear friend. You are not alone. There are many peole here that are listening and handing out their hand of support to you. Grab on and do not let go. My hand goes out to you right along with others. Loth said something very important--Don't Stop Trying. Keep calling and reaching out. Keep reaching out here. Keep writing and posting it helps. The depression is like a giant wall--but brick by brick that wall can be taken down. Though it is strong, there are small cracks within that can be weakened until that wall starts to come down. Keep trying and reaching out, we are here to listen and encourage you. And carry the load to help you. I am here if you want to talk, just pm me anytime. purplesecrets |

I always tend to belittle my own depression, but I know how it feels. Keep it up, and keep calling. But also try to consider that an antidepressant can hardly cause depression. Keep taking the meds regularly, don't improvise. It takes patience, hold on.
The best of luck |

(((((Warm Hug)))))
Well, If I tell you that please calm down than it wont help you at all and to be a little practicle I would suggest you to do something which really helped me in my depressive days. Start writing something, start with the things around you and how you fit into the place where you are at the moment and than slowly come to your ownself and your personality. You sometimes this exersice give you so much indepth analysis of your own that either you get the solution out of it or you get some how little bit control overy your emotions through your pen. I would request you to do this just for once. I have diaries filled with stuff like that  It is always helpfull because you know that best partner in such situation is your ownself, no body else. Trust me on this.Looking forward for a positive response. Please try. |

"you just had an appt, you don't need another" ???? where'd the T find that receptionist!!
glad to hear you're feeling a little better! try not to get too discouraged with the meds - i know that's easier said than done. i tried different meds for years on and off. finally found one that seems to work better than the others. hang in there! __________________ I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people. ~ Isaac Newton |

Getting in to see pdocs can be a real pain.....I waited 3mo before my 1st apt......crazy
Its too bad he/she cant adjust meds on the phone however I guess that wouldnt be as safe. Try journaling,make yourself a list of projects that you can concentrate on until apt......try not to focus on depression if you can. good luck |
