Depression Understood Forums

Well, hi.

I'm a 21 year old male. I've suffered from depression since about the age of 15. I don't know what's causing it any more, there are always different things I could name. I guess one of the main ones is that I just don't fit in anywhere or get along with anybody. When it comes to interacting with people I'm totally clueless. I've tried antidepressants, they worked a little but the meagre benefits, side-effects and hassle of having to interact with a psychiatrist made me stop them. And so here I am.

welcome to the forum soman, glad you found us.

maybe you might want to try our chatroom? that could get you chatting with more people and interacting, but in a none face-to-face situation, so it might be easier to build yourself up /learn how to get along with people. there are lots of friendly chatters there too aswell as here.

how long did you try the antidepressants for? and do you think it was just that psychiatrist that you didnt get on with? or intereacting in general again?
