Hello everyone, hope you're having a nice day ! Well, you might not be, considering you're here, so just take this as some stranger on the internet's kindness :*

I am, obviously, new to all this. Made a introduction thread, don't know if it was necessary or not... Anyway, that's out there if you want to know about me ^^

Well, that about wraps it up ! Hope we'll have some nice talks in the future !

Hi guys

I've used this site before, for online listeners but today I really felt like I needed to get some peer to peer support. I felt so lonely and just wanted to be able to shout out to people who understand where I'm coming from. hopefully this forum is good for that! I've had depression for about 4 r 5 years and have just recently decided I can't cope on my own with it, so iI'm waiting for counselling and trying self-help and stuff....

Thanks for your support.

@needingrelief131 I can easily relate to your feelings. It is a continuous fight, but we mustnt give up. Have you tried Naturopathy? Natural products and acupuncture have worked marvels for me, to the point that Im surviving and feeling better after a month of quitting my antidepressants

@needingrelief131 I used citalopram for 4 years when it suddenly stopped working. Then my nightmare began switching to several others like Effexor, Trintellix which almost killed my intestines. For a month now I have survived the withdrawal effects and I am starting to feel like my old myself using Naturopath remedies and taking acupuncture sessions to stimulate my Central Nervous System

@needingrelief131 each individual responds differently to antidepressants. You may be lucky with your new addition. But, we must be resourceful searching for additional methods. By the end of my history with citalopram, lexapro, cipralex my doctor had added Abilify to it. Then I was switched because i was living in the abyss anyways. I tried different antidepressants for six months until my physical health forced me to seek other routes. I
