Tears

[Im_hurting_inside]

I've been on medication for a long time, I've tried different meds from my doctor with no success. The ones I've been on are not working anymore. I feel hopeless and I'm scared. What keeps me going is that i'm being introduced to a new treatment that doesn't involve drugs. Look up TMS, its a new treatment that I've been told can improve my mood a lot. Maybe even get me off these chemicals that have done me more harm than good. Other things that keep me going are my family; friends; and my beloved girlfriend who has seen me at my worst and never leaves me.

This is all great but things take time and in the meantime I'm emotional pain. And I find myself crying more often. I'm scared.

Hi

Everything you said is true and most of us are fighting this same battle.

You are very fortunate to have a support group. Many people come here and don't have that. This is so helpful and such an important part of our healing.

It's all hard work, there is nothing easy about this.

I hope the TMS helps you, others have posted about it.

Wishing you the best

Hi,It's definitely OK to not be OK.

A scientist once told me tears are nature's way of getting the stress hormones out of our body quicker.

I like to think that's true and that includes emotional pain.

If we stop and think about it, we do feel better after a good sob session.

I have not tried TMS but it is reported to be a possible mental health deal breaker.

I hope it works for you 🐈‍⬛

Good luck with TMS and definitely let us know how it goes.

As someone else said it's ok not to be okay.

Good luck.

Hi, After 30 years of being on antidepressants I have now become resistant to them.I read about TMS on Utube and in America where you live it seems very popular. They recommend 30 short treatments with weekends off. Here in Uk it’s very expensive £5000 for the course and only available in a few places. Travelling 5 days a week for 6 weeks to the nearest Clinic is out of the question for me. I would definately try TMS if the Clinics were handy to get to.

Good luck x
