Sudden Dip

[Skeeble]

Hi all

I have been battling with anxiety and depression for 2 years now.. And up until recently have been managing it.. My anxiety is so much better.. But my depression lately seems to have taken a dip.. I have that impending doom feeling back.. And having silly thoughts..

I keep thinking about why people commit suidice.. But I'm not thinking of doing it myself.. Does that make sense?

I dnno if I need to change my meds.. As I'm on the highest dose of my type.

Any ideas.

Thanks.

That does make sense. I have the same thought. I think about suicide many times. But I never take actions to do it. It’s weird. Almost like a coping mechanism. Idk it’s weird. Depression is hard and it lingers over your head a lot. One thing that has helped me is doing something for myself everyday. So for me I really like to walk. So everyday I try to get out and walk alittle

I have the same thought as well, i’d never do it though! I just let those thoughts pass through and i try and ignore them

Sorry you're feeling down, but suicide is NOT there answer-I should know as I am a suicide survivor of more than 3 attempts. All we can do is our best even when we're at our worst.

O right I’m on propranolol 40mg twice a day and sertraline 100mg. My old doctor changed my medication and told me to just stop the old meds immediately and not take anything for two days. I felt really spaced out and horrible, so if you want to change your meds I would suggest talking to your dr and weening off the ones your on and maybe start something else if you feel they aren’t working..

My psychiatric meds are Seroquel 25 mgs, Latuda 60 mgs, hydroxyzine 50 mgs and duloxetine 120 mgs

I know this is something I have thought about for years when I battled depression. I would think it’s a lot healthier then thinking or planning your own suicide. Actually it is healthy to try to understand why people get so down. Trying to understand what’s at the core of the feelings that lead to suicidal thought can be helpful in recovery. Have you talked to your therapist about it? I am praying for you as you work toward healthiness. -Rachel
