I am going through some bad phase and because of which I am hardly speaking to anyone in my family. Also it’s becoming very hard to contribute to any work in my house. I don’t want to be a loser in front of my family and my young niece.
My emotions seems to have dried up. I don’t look forward to anything. I ask my mind where have you brought me and where are we heading from here?
Are you still taking the medication the doctor gave you? It can take 6 weeks for it to kick in. I am sorry you are feeling so low right now.
I have stopped taking it. There are two tablets - nortiptyline tablet 25 mg and quetiapine fumarate 25 mg.
How would you feel about going back to your doctor and asking to try a different one? I know they gave you constipation which is why you stopped.
That is so kind of you autumnday that you remember what problem I had with medication. I just don’t feel like going to doctor.
I can understand that. When a person feels depressed it is very hard to find the motivation to go to the doctor.
Thank you Autumnday
Sorry you are feeling so sad and defeated. I understand! Positive self-talk is helpful...and for me, talking to a close friend who is trustworthy and loves me is often even better. Trying to focus on the other person, also is very helpful for me, when I get into a "pit". Focusing on others, God, and positive thinking...even if I have to "fake it until I make it" often will get me out of my "pit".
Also, have you considered counseling? Having a safe place to cry, vent, be honest, and get to some "root" causes of depression is what counseling is all about. Praying for you today, friend!
