Something is missing!

[fidty6]

I've suffered with depression since 11 years old. I didn't know what it was back then, just thought I was a worthless soul. Been on and off medication for 20 years and it still doesn't stabilise my crying bouts. I always feel there's something missing inside

[fidty6]

How do you feel on medication? Any change?

[fidty6]

This world is tough but I feel there is underlying issues of how we feel this way in the first place. Were you offered any other help, aside antidepressants?

[fidty6]

Ah well that's good. I'm on a waiting list🙄

Good luck & don't hold back x

Hi fidty6 I pray you get some relief. Have you tried support groups for depression? Sometimes connecting with others helps ease the burden. I've always turned to my faith and go to Mass a lot, but since mental illness is also physical (brain chemistry, lack of serotonin)- though I do feel spiritually uplifted sometimes, yet in my body I struggle, also since childhood, with deep depression/anxiety. Hope you can get into therapy soon and feel better

I've not tried support groups, just kinda muddled along. I'm not a priority as I'm not self harming or suicidal all the time. Thanks for your kind words. Have a good day x
