Depressed

Depressed

Hi. My name is Alex. I am very deppressed and feel lonely all the time. I'm 25 in a few days and I've never had a girlfriend. I've been on dating apps for a long time but I haven't really had any dates. I feel very unattractive all the time. Sometimes I just pray I die of a heart attack or something. I really don't want to live anymore. Nothing is interesting. I have no motivation to do even small things. I think everybody knows I'm a loat cause. Nothing helps. I keep going up doses on my antidepressant but it's not helping. I'm hoping to try transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy soon. It will probably use up all my savings. I know that I crave physical touch. I'm not sure how normal that is. Every day someone says something that makes me feel more deppressed. I actually had a coping mechanism but my brother cut that off. I've also felt very stigmatized. I'm thinking of sueing people that stigmatized me. At least it will feel like I'm standing up for myself. But I'm worried the whole process will make more depressed. I'm just not sure how much longer i can go in this world. I have been seeing therapists but i honestly think they just make me feel worse

Re: Depressed

Just a clarification in regards to seeing psychologists with a MHCP @Alex32redden @NatureLover Most do bulk bill but there are some where there is a fee charged so if you are ever going to go down that road again then ask if they bulk bill first.

@Alex32redden In saying that I very much hear how frustrating and pointless you think things are right now and very reluctant to see anyone because of past experience. I was wondering what it is you would like from us here. Is it a place to vent, a place to seek support and/or a place to feel a sense of belonging - all of those are okay but knowing a little more about your needs may enable us to help you more.

I dont really know. I dont know what to do anymore. Does anybody on these forums have any gathering groups?

Re: Depressed

As it is an anonymous forum @Alex32redden we are unable to advertise or promote any groups that anyone is a part of outside of the forum. It may be a good idea to contact the Help Centre on Monday to help you find supports/groups in your area.

Re: Depressed

Oh thanks @Zoe7 , I didn't know that - thanks for clarifying.

@Alex32redden I have to go soon, but hopefully the night owls will be around...If you want to speak to someone in particular, put a @ and a drop-down box will list names which you can click.

What would you like to see happen, @Alex32redden ? (To echo @Zoe7 's question)

Re: Depressed

No worries @NatureLover It is unfortunate that not all MHCP sessions are fully rebated by everyone but that is the system hey

Thanks for giving @Alex32redden the heads up on tagging too

@Alex32redden would it be worthwhile asking your GP for a referral to a psychiatrist? They are often way more knowledgeable on medications and can help in that area if your GP is simply upping doses.
