When I left MH services appointments today, my overriding thought was *"I'm being incredibly selfish and wasting these people's time."
I know antidepressants are not a magic cure, it wasn't my choice to go on them in the first place, but more out of desperation because I didn't know what else to do. I*have never looked at ADs or counselling as a cure -*at the moment I see them as a coping mechanism, to help keep me going while I still have to be here. That's why I think their time would be better spent on people who can be helped. It doesn't seem right to pour time, effort, money into a project that's ultimately going to fail anyway.*

I think you should continue. I think you can be helped and things will start looking up for you.

One of the symptoms of depression is feeling like you are not worthy or that you don't matter. Another symptom is feeling like there is no point and nothing will help.
Yes, you do matter!

Keep trying East. You're not selfish to want to get help for this. You deserve to be free of the pain of depression however it takes to get there, even if it seems hopeless it is worth trying and it is not selfish.

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