Hi. Ive been dealing with depression for about a year and a half now and have gone through a very hard time. My family doesnt understand and isnt the best support as all they want to do is put me on meds when I didnt need them. My friends make better supports but I feel like Im losing them slowly and will one day be all alone. I feel like Im a burden on people.
That sounds very rough to have to go through! Despite your rough challenges, I'm very proud of you for persevering and not giving up - you're honestly so, so courageous and brave. Have you seen your doctor about your depression? It's important to do so before starting a new medicine or therapy. I hope everything works out for you!

thank you. I havent seen one yet. Ive been arguing with my mom on getting meds through a psychiatrist as shes making it a demand rather than my choice. most of the time its manageable but Im currently debating whether or not to go on antidepressants. I dont know as it might help as each brand works differently but I dont know if I need it either. Im really not sure what to do :(

You're welcome, anytime! In regards to medication, it's best to talk about your concerns with your psychiatrist that you will see. Afterall, they're getting paid to help councel you about your medicines. I hope everything works out smoothly and easily with your medicine situation, and if one medicine isn't working too well or the side-effects are too extreme, don't hesitate to reach out to the psychiatrist so you can either have a lower dose or a different medication. Just remember to follow their instructions as they know best, and good luck!
