Depressed
ok well there has been a lot of things going on and i've gotten really depressed. im on medicine for it but it doesnt seem to be working anymore. its like the 5th kind of pill that i've tryed. im always crying and thinking about the bad things but i can't help it. i used to be able to write about it in my poems but now i just kinda can't. i really need help and i dont know what to do. i dont want to cry myself to sleep everynight.

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health?
Hey I know how you feel..life can be really hard. For me I take paxil and it helps. You might need a higher dose on yours or another new one. But med's arent really gona solve a lot. I really wish i knew what to say but the only way to really get over this is go though it. Things will get better. I never thought they would for me but they did. For now just try and think of the best. Think of other people who's lifes are horrible. My friend's mom and dad killed themselfs in front of him after getting divorced and her life is very messed up. Dont worry everyone goes though this as a child but you will eventuly get over it. Good luck! I'm sorry i didnt help that much :(
OH yea when i got depressed i coudlnt tell anyone how i felt. it was impossible but then i went to a theripist after a while of talking i could say more about how i felt. just a tip but if your not seeing a theripist you should try one.

I'm going through the same thing. I don't have any good advice, but if you ever need to complain to someone feel free to talk to me (contact info in my advice column).

ok depression can be helped with drugs as you've said you've been on them but I think a shrink or just talking about them can help too
hope this helped

Oh boy.. this is tough. I dont want to give you any wrong advice. and I've never been in your situation so I don't know what your going through. But the best thing i can say is maybe going to see a shrink and talking with them. Its easier to tell a person you dont know and prolly wont see again things. and their job is to help you through all the rough stuff in your life. and for your medicine.. you should talk to your doctor and tell him/her that you dont think the medicine is helping anymore.. and they will try something new... thats the only advice I have for you... I hope this helps..

beind depressed sucks...since the pills dont work, you prolly dont have like a chemical imbalance...its prolly just all in your head where all you think about is every bad thing that happens. hmm writing really helped me, but try to surround yourself with people that wont bring you down, but that will raise you up. Try to have fun, be crazy listen to loud music and just dance around laughing and singing. I'm sorry that youre crying yourself to sleep, but atleast youre not keeping it all inside to where its gonna burst out at the worst moments. Maybe try going to a psychiatrist, so you have someone to talk to. Maybe that will help!

1st of all i don think your really depressed if you dont know what your depressed about taking pills and crying isnt gonna help anyone. i think u should just try to be a hapy person and think positive

It does suck to be depressed,and you are right sometimes those medications don't seem to work. Honestly I think they are not working because you have no chemical imbalance Those medications are for people who are depressed due to some kind of chemical imbalance. Maybe that is not you. Maybe you are just still feeling down about something going on inside of you, and you can't seem to stop thinking about it or let it go. Writing is a ggod way to get these feelings off of your chest. Since, you said that poems aren't working for you anymore. Why don't you try to do something positive with your writing. Like instead of writing sad poems, why don't you keep a gratitude journal. That's what I do. Everynight, before bed, I write down atleast 3 things that I am thankful for that day. This helps to go to bed with good things on your mind. It also helps to look at the brighter side of things as well, because during your day you can focus more on realizing what it is your life that does make you smile. Which will help you get through the day better. I think a gratitude journal is a excellent way to get your spirits up. Its works for me. Or you can try to listen to music when you are sad or upset, but not sad love somgs or depressing songs. Listen to loud like dance music that will make you wanna get up and jump around. This can help to keep your mind off upsetting thigs too. I hope I helped. Goiod Luck! :)

First of all let me say I'm so very sorry. I know what you are going through. I have suffered from depression for awhile now and on top of that I have a lot of health problems. Right now I'm being tested for all sorts of disease's. Switching medications is not and will not ever be easy. It is as if those 4-8 weeks you are transising are like you were before you started medication. Talk to your mom or dad. Do you go to a physciatrist or just your primary doctor? I would recoomend a physcatrist they are really good with things like that. I also want you to IM me on AIM when we get the chance so we can talk more personally IF YOU WANT TO. I'm not making you do anything. I would rather not post my whole life up here but I would be happy to help you, and trust me I know what you are going through.

i had major depresson for nearly 2 years and trust me it sucked! i never took any medication for it... i went to therapy and i would tell her all of my problems and i always wrote down my feelings... i'm actually shocked it's not working for you anymore because all the people i've talked to with depression always felt better after writing! the only thing i can say is just go out and live life to the fullest! listen to happy music... dance around your room like a maniac! do whatever makes you happy! you have dysthymia... it's a type of depression... at least from what i'm reading that's what it sounds like. just live likfe to the fullest... that's all i can possibly tell you right now. if you have any questions feel free to drop one in my box and i'll gladly respond! FEEL BETTER!

Maybe you need to go to whoever's giving you the medicine and get a higher MG. Like, if you're on 50MG, maybe you should get boosted up to 75MG. Or you could always try theropy, although that might not work as well.
