I hate having depression
Posted , 7 users are following.
It's almost 3am and Ive been awake a couple of hours now with panicky feelings and jumbled thoughts. I switched to sertraline 2 weeks ago after being on citalopram for 6 years and to be honest at the moment I don't think it's worth going through these side effects, and I'm only on 25mg! I'm going to switch bac to half dose citalopram in the morning and maybe try again after Xmas. Just really wanted to say that having depression sucks! I guess I'm having trouble accepting it at the moment?

and Magnus I don't understand your comment. I doesn't sound very supportive though so you might be better off not saying anything at all.

dont you think people whether family or not expect you to behave like we use too
i want to behave like we use too... Can we help it if our brain decides to break down
i can't control it. I have been trying to control it before but without realising it
I couldn't pretend smile to the world outside smile and be happy.
no I can't do what the world expects us too...
so we have to give in to what our minds say sometimes just do nothing find your way
slowly. Relax when you can.

I wish I had gone with that with the first med they put me on. It didn't feel right from about week 2 but I stuck with it for 8 weeks,willing and hoping for it to work when deep down I knew it was making things worse. Over and over I must of said "give it one more week,it'll settle down",it didn't!!! My new med...I'm far from being where I want to be but something just feels right. I have days that are horrendous but still,something is telling me to stick with it.
