What to do now

What to do now

I feel dead inside. I got zero clue why I'm trying to smile. I told my family last night never to talk to me. I told everyone else they suck. I broke up with my husband. I'm literally alone. I got nothing.

Will I even like my life own my own or will it also be just full of hurt and pain? I just can't breath. Can't think. I feel trapped. So trapped.

And I know it fades but then it comes back and I'm starting to think why am I fighting this. I'm nothing. I'm just a speak of dust inside a giants eye.

Re: What to do now

Just got back from a doctors appointment and just feel so unheard. I'm scared of medication as i don't want to be a robot. But they where like but we need to control your moods. It's like they think just making me brain dead is better for me. But I don't see quality in life being a robot

Hi @Former-Member

That's really shame that your doctor wasn't listening to your concerns. Did he/she speak about how long they were wanting you to take meds?

Some doctors will focus on getting you stablised before they will consider taking you off the meds.

Re: What to do now

I'm not even on the meds. I've been on so many since a teen with just been diganoused with depression and they have just never agreed with me and have sadly at times made me worse.

They won't let me see anyone else till I'm covered with meds due to I get upset to easily and crash dangerously

It can take some time to find the right meds. It's bit like a jigsaw puzzle - finding the right piece until one fits with you.

Is your doc wanting to try news meds with?

He wants me to try new meds then I read the main side effects and I just can't.

Re: What to do now

@Former-Member it can be scary reading about the side effects. Though, remember that they are possible side effects. Not everyone will experience them.

Is it possible to try the meds, and then if you start feeling any of those side effects go and see your doctor. He might give you something to manage them or take you off that med. I've had a similar experience where I was getting bad side effects, and I told my doc, and they out me on a another med, which worked well.

Re: What to do now

I really just feel trapped. I feel frozen in time and I'm about to lose it. I try and be positive and non stop go go go. I read positive books and watch positive DVDs. I have elemented all negative out of my life. I give my self goals which I'm reaching but I feel empty.

I know you don't get all the side effects but it's from the same family as my old meds and this will be the 3rd one from the family. I just hate having to try something with dam side effects for a few days weeks to see one does it work for me and two are the side effects getting softer and then everytime it's been no and no you can't stop taking them as the nature of the pills. I have to slowly get off them and hate not having that control. I hate it controlling me.
