Confused

I thought meds are suppose to make you live a normal life! I just want to feel normal again.

Hi Weeden, meds can help but are not a magic potion but a bridge to get us

over the hump til we reach the other side. (I don't mean death) Depression

is a chemical imbalance in the brain in which medication can help. However,

changing our way of thinking is just as important. Therapy can help significantly

in setting you back on the right path. We need to find a way to be happy and

continue on with a "normal life". Although right now, the word "normal" is

up for grabs. I'd rather say we need to find what gives us purpose in our lives.

Stay safe xx

That's what I need to figure out! Because I have no idea!

I know how you feel I was on meds and felt the same if not worst I ended up getting off them. But this is no way of living either and know medication is trial and error unfortunately. I’m making an appointment tomorrow after not seeing a dr in a couple years because I honestly lost hope in them because I haven’t been able to be “normal”. I hope you can find something that can work for you and I’m here to talk if you need to, sometimes that helps.

Thanks! I now understand why some commit suicide, because you just get tired! But I am not thinking about it, just understand!

I agree with you. I have never thought about it and know I never would, but living like this I also understand why some feel there is no other option. I’m hoping after seeing a dr I can find some kind of relief, hope you will find some soon too.

Are you planning on getting back on meds? The withdrawal of getting off is horrible!

[Glitterpink07 in reply to Hidden]

It’s been a couple years now that I haven’t been on meds but my anxiety is at its worst right now, I will be finally seeking professional help and hope this time I can find some relief of all my symptoms.
