Just need a friend

[BriGriffs]

Hey guys I'm new, obviously, hopefully this can help me get through things because for the past couple weeks nothing has helped. A bit of background.. I've had depression and have been on antidepressants for the past 5 years now. I have been able to deal with it so far but a couple weeks ago something triggered me and I've been on a downward spiral. Knowing my moods quite well I've seen the doctor and counsellor, with the doctor telling me she doesn't know whats wrong and the counsellor telling me I'm having a relapse and just to work through it.. Now normally I would accept that and try to get back into my normal routine but there's just something stopping me. I know there is no cure for depression but I think at this point I just need someone to talk to... Thanks

Hi, and welcome to the forum! This site may help you. We listen and converse, without judgment.

In my opinion, the doctor shoulda done a more thorough evaluation! Hmm. Ticks me off...

Thanks! Yeah it's kinda frustrating when you're continuously told nothings wrong when you know there is! I'm trying to book an appointment with a psychologist instead of a counsellor because at this point my mood isn't the only thing thats bad, I also have a constant headache and am nauseous.. ugh I'm just over it.

Hi BriGriffs,
It's fortunate you've found this site! Knowing that others are listening is helpful.
That's great you're booking an appt with a psychiatrist!! I can see that you're proactively seeking to help yourself. This is a step I believe will pay off, you know. I AM concerned about this perpetual headache and nausea you've mentioned. Are these stress-induce migraines? These, of course, will cause nausea...If I were you? I'd make a trip to the E.R. (just incase this is caused by something else)! I wish you all the best Bri. Please update on your progress, and let us know what happens. Also, if you wish to talk about anything else, we are non-judgmental and understanding here! Take care.
