Had enough.

Had enough.

I know that these forums are supposed to help people but I don't think that they help at all. I am so bitter about seeing doctors and trying medications that I refuse to see anyone new, because they won't be able to help anyway. It is just spending more money for nothing. I have seen 4 psychiatrists, 3 psychologists, undergone 2 sleep studies, 14 sessions of ECT and many, many different medications over the last 15 years, and I am sitting here more depressed than I have ever been. The only outcome of ECT was loss of short term memory. I have tried 11 different medications and none of these have helped my depression, anxiety or OCD. There is just no help out there. I am sick of being used as a guinea pig. My depression is the worst it has ever been. I just want to feel happy and alive. My fatigue is so debilitating. I have just had enough of it all. It is all just a waste of time, there is absolutely nothing that can help.

Re: Had enough.

The medical world sometimes makes you feel like you are not valued as an individual and you're pidgeon holed and shunted in and out of different treatments. These days I just want to talk with people not try end game tho, just open up about whatever is on my mind or what I'm feeling. Hang in there @mick_1234

Re: Had enough.

Dear @mick_1234

Thanks for your messages....I was actually following another member's messages called @lostit who I've been impressed by their's words of support and I found you....and all my wonderful friends too like @Appleblossom and @-karma- @Former-Member

and I think I've met @grubbytoes....love your message! Empathetic.....

I will say, you actually sound a lot like my darling partner who has been in the system for years and years. But yesterday......we were both listened in different circumstances, it's has made a huge difference to both of our lives.

One support was for me and it was a support group at Arafmi. It was awesome. I really didnt think that my partner should come but it ended up being the best thing for him. And they provisded yummy cake/buscuits too!! Had chocolate on them and everyone knows how much I like eating chocolate.

I've used Phams a few times for my hub, before our seperation for 2 years....okay for 1.5 years. I was not coping at all and I called a supportive place.....who got me in contact with them. It was great for him and I was very calmed by it.
