Just need a friend

Postby BriGriffs » Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:05 am

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 :cry:

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. :)
