Medication And Talking Isnt Helping Posted: 01-18-06 23:27pm
Ive been depressed for years now, and its
getting me lower and lower. Ive triend
about 7 different medications and none of
them have worked. Ive tried them for
years and months but they never worked on
me. Ive been seeing a counsellor for
years and nothing helps. I feel as
though my counsellor judges me.
The trouble comes down to home life and
one particular guy in my life. You've
probably seen my other posts about this
guy who is technically my only friend but
treats me badly. Im lonely and he is
literally the only person I talk to. I
havent seen or spoken to my bro or sis in
about 3 years and my dad completely
ignores me after my pregnancy and
termination. My mother tries to talk to
me but basically in the end only insults
me (eg...I was going out the otherday and
she said I looked terrible in what I had
on, my hair never looks good when I put it
up and I shouldnt even be considering
leaving the house dressed like that).
This guy is the only person I talk to.
My life without him - i'd sit in my room
and literally not talk to anyone. Ive
tried to make friends but just cant seem
to hold onto them. I dont know what to
do about my freindship with him - he does
upset me and I get sick of his crap
treatment but then on the other hand I
really care about him and he says he cares
about me too.
I cry myself to sleep every night. I
wish this guy would prove to me he cared,
not just say it, he comes to see me but
only stays about an hour and I hate that.
We just sit in the car and talk when id
much rather go to a movie or something
with him. Ive given up trying to fix my
family problems, ive tried for years and
just get shut down.
Please, I need help...I need to know how
to decide if I should keep this guy in my
life or go without him. Hes all ive got,
but the thing is im miserable with him and
miserable without him. Please help me,
im scared of what will happen....My
counsellor isnt helping and meds dont do
anything for me.....

First of all, you have to know that you
are your number 1 priority. Your
depression will heal, you just haven't
found yet what works for you.
First of all, you should change therapists
and find one you can be completely open
with, who really cares, listens &
understands. Don't stop looking until
you find him/her.
I find that christian counseling is more
meaningful & helpful.
Try alternative therapies for your
depression. On the internet look up
"natural remedies for depression." a lot
of times feeding the brain helps
tremendously; make sure that you feed your
brain continuously by taking essential
fatty acids (from the health food store)
and all the b vitamins if you're
deficient. You can do this in addition
to trying to find a medicine that works
for you. Pills never get to the root of
the problem, they're just a temporary
cover-up, i'm not telling you to forget
about or not to take them, but you must
find the root cause and fix it.
Also, there's a book you must get that is
very eye-opening about depression,
anxiety, etc. Seriously, it may change
your life and heal your depression once
& for all. It has many natural
substances you can take for depression
that heals/restores whatever's happening
in your brain to make you depressed.
Get this book. It's called "breaking the
grip of dangerous emotions" by janet
maccaro. You really need to get it, it
will help you; so much research has gone
into this book, it's amazing. The author
has delt with depression & has gone
through so much hell, & now her life
is completely restored bcause of what she
discovered about the brain.
N-e-ways, I really hope this helps you.
As for your friend, I really pray you find
some real friends (or friend) who treat
you right so you won't need him anymore.
Let me know if you got the book & how
ur doing. Hope to hear back from you.
