Again the same symptoms have seen in me when i visited my psychiatric, again to start the medication. so embarrassed with my self.

once depressed in 2010 and now feeling so down.

need your support friends.

I completely understand Alexben. I had to recently go back on my anxiety medication after being off and happy! Sometimes you try as much as possible to follow the advice and strategies provided but it just doesn't work, external factors such as the weather and life can affect you without realizing it. While I also find it embarrassing to be on the medication, I am thankful for the fact that it takes on the edge while you get things sorted out. Perhaps its trying to tell you of something you need to sort out, I know mine is!

You will get through this and when you are ready again you will be off the medication. In the mean time, just let it take the edge off to help deal with the problems and look after yourself. What a better time than the new year to start looking after yourself again.

Thinking of you and sending you the best wishes for the new year.

Hi Alexben,

*big hugs*. Don't be so hard on yourself. Its real easy to hit yourself up when it seems like you've made no progress.

Take it easy, just go with whatever your psychiatrist recommended, without analyzing what it represents.

Wishing you well.

Why are you embarrassed about taking medication? who needs to know except your GP , chemist and you? Please don't be. You need the meds at the moment same as you would need anti-bio-tics if you had infection anywhere. Don't feel bad about yourself Alex....I am behind you 100% and so are the other members of this forum. It's not nice feeling like this darling and we know..we have been there and some still are. It will lift in a while but in the meantime be kind to yourself and treat yourself well. Keep posting Alex please and let us know how you are Love and Hugs x Ella x

Totally agree with Ella. I too find myself feeling embarrassed about my condition but deep down I know that it is nothing to be ashamed of. Life would be better if all people were as proactive as you.
