Hi All,
I am new here and I just wanted to vent. This is the first time I have ever joined a forum regarding depression. Maybe because I have always been in denial and always wanted to self help. Never worked.
I've had clinical depression since I was diagnosed with it 15 years ago. I am now 25 years old.
I have been on numerous types of medication. Starting with a low dose, then increased over the years. I have been on 100mg of Sertraline for the past year (on and off). I know it is clinical depression but surely there is a way of making things better in my head without the use of meds?
My Dr said it was a Sertitonin imbalance I have and I will suffer with sever clinical depression for the rest of my life, and if i dont take my medication, end up in a psychiactric ward.
I really dont know what to do for the best anymore. I know I need to take my tablets, but I find they make me feel worse. Suicidal, tired, sick, hungry. Everything.
Any help in this self help issue would be greatly appreciated and I would love peoples feedback. Im ignorant when it comes to my depression but I think i need to face it now. 15 years is too long.
Thanks all
