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!
Feeling like I'd better go no contact with all of my family.
Why do I feel like I'm the only one in my family to confront our issues?
Am I overreacting to my family? 
None of my family message me.
Does being at my families house and not socializing count?
