Back on meds...slow start

wanderingandlost17 profile image

Well it’s day one back on my meds and all I’ve thought about today is how high would I have to be so when I jumped I died. I know it’s a slow road and it’s not going to be an instant cure but I’m just tired of feeling like a burden to everyone around me. I don’t know how to explain I can’t help being this way. My depression pushes everyone away and all I want is one person to push back and say they aren’t going anywhere.

One day at a time. Small goals, small daily steps. You are digging out of a hole, I am too. It takes a small step everyday. I recommend watching videos by Douglas Bloch on YouTube, he is an expert on clinical depression.

I know that feeling about the meds. Had mine reduced but getting off this last o e is turning out to be a challenge.

I find knowing this community is here for me when I need to talk helps when I am alone.

Rest up and take care of yourself.

Im sorry i totally understand how you feel ,I feel the same way about my anxiety, but you have to be strong and not let anyone get to you i no its not easy but you can do it and maybe go see a therapist just to talk it out with someone . Things will get better its just a work in progress. 👍🏾

So true, it is difficult for people to understand you. People don't have to understand you. Just stand firm in the truth.

It's hard to find supportive friends and family - but keep looking. Have you searched for support groups in your area? - check out meetup.com

To boost your confidence, consider volunteering with a charity. Seeing the appreciation in a human or animal that is in despair will make you feel that you are changing lives and give you a brighter outlook on life.
