i am clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder and take psych meds, so many its like not even funny, ive got too much stuff going on in my life that i find talking about it to people helps and writing in general helps too. The meds help but are too much meaning higher doseage for me so they are knocking it down bit by bit. I see a shrink and a counsler for as little as $5-$10 so if u need the info just ask. what are ur feelings? what have u gone thru?

I am not suffering from depression right now but have in the past but am being told that I am suffering from anxiety disorder and that this will lead to depression .
They did want to put me on medication but I refused as I said I have lived through this my whole life and have always managed to get through it without medication and I will this time as well not to mention that I am on so much medication for problems with blood pressure , stomach problems and thyroid problems etc that I am on so much right now and honestly can't afford more .
I agree with you that I have always found that if you can find someone to talk to and someone who will take the time to listen to what you have to say , such as a family member , good friend or even a counsellor or some sort that this does help .
Best of luck :)

Just don't think too much about your problems.. Be happy always, eat chocolate coz there's something in chocolate that produce happy feelings... Please love yourself, don't let those problems rule your being... Take care..

just try to be happy and always positive thinking. everything happened in your life not too worst than another so why should be depressed?
just enjoy your life coz life is so short and we cant turn back the time that already passed away right?

First of all, I see that you are new here....so WELCOME! I am glad to see that you are getting counseling and that your mental health professionals are monitoring your medication dosages....that is great for you!!! Depression is a difficult disease process because so many things can set it off..I have had to take antidepressants and antianxiety meds at different stages of my life. Someitmes I thought I would not have made it through the present situations without the help that they provided. I do not require them at this stage of my life and am glad of that because I did not like some of the side effects of the medications....that could be a whole new discussion.
Becoming a member of the myLot Community should be very therapeudic for you as the writing and thinking about the other real life situations should be helpful. It is a great place to get things out of your head and out there where others can remark and help share other points of view...which could also help you work through some things..Hope you love it here! I do. Good luck!
