Depression.?
Question:
I've been in the physc ward/gotten treated and I'm on lexapro at the moment.
I attempted to end my life last November.
And I was a cutter for 3 years.
But I've been clean for awhile now.
But lately, this summer, I have gotten worse and worse
I've been feeling alone
Losing sleep
Lost 10 pounds
& I'm afraid to tell my mom, I just don't think she'll take it well.
Is it normal to feel this way?
Answers:
For someone with your history, it is completely normal to feel this way. Especially during summer. If you're off of school or taking a break from work it is really common to feel empty and alone if you have a tendency toward depression. There's no real task or purpose to focus attention on.
I don't think it's necessary to take your mom if you're seeing a therapist (which I'm guessing you are since you're on lexapro), just tell your therapist how you're feeling, and maybe consider switching medications or trying new doses, or balancing it. Depression takes a lot of guesswork because the medication works different for different people. In my personal experience, lexapro did not work for me. It only helped my anxiety and OCD.
If you don't have a therapist but had one, you should tell your mom you need to see the therapist again. Don't explain why if it's unnecessary.
Good luck and I hope you feel better. Depression is a tough journey but I am sure you will beat it with help!
Don't be afraid to talk to your mom. If you really can't talk to her talk to another adult that you trust. And whatever you do do not stop taking your medication. That will really mess with your head.
no..itz not normal..
try to live for those ppl who love u alot ..like ur mom!!
have faith in ur G0d!!
may G0d bless yaa :)
no u should have to talk to u r parents or to ur friends to come out from this ,u have a better chance to solve ur problem yes u r still in a control position that u want to come out from this . this will power will make u to solve every thing so u just go ahead on what i said.
Just tell your mom - it's better to be honest about how you're feeling, and get the treatment you need. I'm sure that she's noticed you're not your usual self.
I have a sister with SEVERE depression - she also has many other health issues. She's had to try a bunch of different treatments and medications for the depression.
Sometimes medication loses effectiveness over time, and needs to be increased or changed. Are you seeing a psycholgist and therapist regularly? If not, I would highly suggest that approach.
If you talk to your mom about your concerns, and are open with her, she will proabably feel more relieved that you came to her, instead of just bottling it up and spiralling down. If you do it now, before it gets REALLY bad, you can most likely avoid having to be hospitalized again.
Please let me know how you're doing, hon - feel free to email me any time for support, okay?
What tore you from being okay to being alone? Try and regain that back. Feeling alone isn't the right choice to suicide.
No man, it's not freaking normal. God, that's what I hate about depression, even the person dealing with it doesn't know that what he's dealing with isn't freaking normal.
You're heading for a fall. Your history and everything you've dealt with tells me that you need help, NOW, before it gets out of hand. Sometimes we get better for a while, while the depression lies dormant, just waiting to bare it's ugly face again. It happens that way.
Please get help before you get to a point where you're totally gone.
i think you have lack of believing in god. Think that god givinig every thing and taking every thing according to to his judjment so think positive and stringth your believe in god and wiseness.
conclusion: its not notmal
what is normal is to be your self and live your life whether it is full of trouble or no trouble
Remember the power of prayer! Our Creator is the best doctor in the universe and only a prayer away! in the name of His son Jesus of course! You can tell Him how you feel anytime and ask Him what the best course would be for how to best approach you mom in a way that would enable you to help you better. She loves you! She'd want to know how you feel. I know I would if you were my daughter!
im sure she would take you talking to her now alot better than when you have to go back to the hospital because you tried to commit suicide again. Talk to your mom. Take care of yourself. Its not lik she doesnt know you are mentally ill. You were in the psych ward for god sakes!
Normal but not O.K.!
thats the answer for your quest.
well, don't tell your mom first, if your mother kinda worrying or panic person, i suggest you treat it first, by your own effort, there is a natural way to guide you to relief your depression. that have helped many people without taking any pills at all
