Honestly? Be glad someone cares. Go to the "stupid" phsychiatrist because truly you need it. The worst mistake I ever made was blowing off the phsychiatrist offered to me when I really needed it. Get some support because for what your going through it's all that's going to keep you going.

So I went to the psych....Nd it went well I have to go back and get anti depression pills

Don't worry!

Sometimes anit-depreeants are what help you through to feeling better. That kind of medication kept me from offing myself. Give it a chance.

I'm on anti-depressants. I have been for a little over a year. But about a year ago I took myself off of them thinking I was "better". Little did I know, that I wasn't better, it was the medicine. I put myself back on them, and it just makes things so much easier. When not on them I would blow up for no real reason, one minute i'd be fine and the next I wouldn't, they really regulate my moods, not to mention the ones i'm on make me lose weight so that's always a plus.

Yea I guess ur right but sum ppl are telling me that....Its like weird like I d k like they confuse me and stuff...But it hink I need it but then I dont want to be too hyper than I already am wen im fake to ppl....U kno cuz at school im always happy but to my boyfren or to ppl that irritate me im really mean nd they dont like that...And I understand why I shud take em cuz it wont make me have my moods soo wow....Im just worried that ill always rely on the pills rather than myself....And weight loss is bad I already weight 85 pounds and im a senior and its all cuz I have no more appetite since ive had depression....Ill reply back and tell you how they are treatin me thanks

Hi,

do you think that maybe your hyperactivity is maybe caused by feelings of anxiety??

Do you know they cause of why you are feeling so depressed?

Are you eating a balanced diet at the moment? Sometimes dietary problems can be the cause of depression.

Also, this info might be of use to you if you are wanted to try and stop the self harm. Remember if you’re going to cut yourself try and do it in a safe way. Use sterile cutting instruments and wash and cover your cut afterwards.
