I am stuck and I don't know what to do for the best

I am stuck and I don't know what to do for the best

Hi everyone

I am feeling really stuck and not sure what to do. I feel my depression is on the way back or should say its not really left. I am over the frustration of having to deal with it all the time. I really don't have any clear direction in terms of my treatment. I am trying to understand what is depression but I feel like I am no further in my recovery then when I started and that really bothers me.

I've had suggestions of medication/tms etc. Both really scare me and especially the tms. And another thing is I find it hard to articulate my symptoms to my specialist or how the depression impacts me. I just wish I could go back to before this started- I guess everyone wishes that.

I would really love some suggestions has to how to move forward and how to get the best help from my GP and other professionals. And I would love to hear about other peoples stories and what has helped them and also what their treatment plan is.

My biggest concern is I don't know what to do for the best and thus far I have not been able to move very far forward but I am saying this is about to change, I have no other option but to be strong.

@Former-Member

I'm hoping you had a better day~ I think I read on one of the other threads you were struggling~ I am hoping this passes for you soon.

I am glad you were able to open up yesterday and it made a lot sense what you were saying. We all need some time to ourselves to regroup at times and to go back to basics (self care). I tend to go inwards and when I feel better I can look outside myself.

I have mum coming up for a few days from tomorrow and it will be great to spend some time with her.

Re: I am stuck and I don't know what to do for the best

Thanks for for your message @Change123 and relating to my difficulties in opening up and expressing what is happening to me

I think I need to take some more action and to take more control over my health issues and expect a bit more from my Drs essentially. In saying I have not made progress I probably have but I don't see it atm. My biggest concern is my memory and my specialist keeps on telling me its from my depression but I don't think its the case at all, I think its something more. She believes my depression is not treated and I need medication or TMS. I am not keen on either.
