Stuck between suffering and medication
Depression Support / by crofton09

...See more I've been struggling with depression most my life, with periods where it will lift enough I can function somewhat normally. I've never been on medication long term (the last time really did me in when the dr diagnosed side effects as a new condition). But now it's ruined another relationship. I don't know if I can get it back. He told me that I needed to see a doctor or he didn't think he could be with me anymore. So my appointment is tomorrowand I'm so scared. I don't want to get on drugs. They have such bad side effects. Even if I get Better, I will likely still have no sex drive. I was just sitting in the other room thinking about it and the depressed blank look on my face made himask what was wrong. I'm really scared. Im stuck between a rock and hard place. I don't remember the last time we had sex, it was over two months ago. He doesn't enjoy my company anymore (because I'm so down & negative most of the time) so he doesn't take me out to do things anymore. His reaction has made me lose respect for him and it's just been a vicious cycle. What should I do? Can I survive being medicated? How can I improve my relationship in the meantime?
