Any other way? I hate antidepressants...?!


Question: OK, basically, Im extremely depressed (all the symptoms, blah blah). I took antidepressants years ago, and honestly dont even remember what it was like, they made me more numb and slow and zombified, thats it... and i got off before i became dependent like the many people i saw...but at this point, i feel like im in a desert. Im afraid of the future, and stepping out into the world again when I am able to (not yet...)..i dont know what will be left for me. Like if you are the only one to survive the end of the world...what good does self-improvement do if there is nothing left in your life but yourself? Its going to take awhile before i feel OK to go out there again. Now im trapped alone inside this room now, inside my head, alone. There really is nothing left, i pushed everything aside and away with my own insecurity. Im afraid by the time i am more secure, the desolation will hit me. I just want to cope with waiting and anticipating the future. I dont know if i should consider proz

Don't take this the wrong way but do you suffer from depression. I was diagnosed with depression, took meds for 12 years until the s*** hit the fan and after 14 months of intensive help from my mental health team was diagnosed with a personality disorder which has now increased to three.
This is an extreme case but the 'depression' was me not coping with the undiagnosed underlying problem.
Just try to explore other reasons why you feel like you do - are you anxious or even scared or certain things. Do you avoid situations or even obsess over bits and pieces.
Have you thought that maybe the meds you took didn't seem to work because you didn't have depression.
You seem to be isolating yourself from other people which you must stop doing - they at least will give you a different view on loads of things which will be more objective than your own insular selfdestructive musings.
Try to change your way of thinking. Your last comment about the desolation may well be true but you have stated that you may well be a lot more secure and so will be able to deal with the desolation a hell of a lot more better than you would now. Try to stop catastrophising !!

look up at the stars every night, and look at the sky every morning. then you will realize just how small you are and that depression is just electrical signals in your brain cause thats what it is. lol

hi, i suffer from depression, but the meds they use now dont make you feel stoned, ask for celexa and seroquel, i feel normal, not stupid. and ive always heard excersize, and positive thinking work wanders for depression.

smoke a lot of weed

my dear one goes into the situation called DEPRESSION due to some occurence in the past life ,irrepairable loss,
unknown hidden worries about something.
Antidepresants only make you forget the worries fr that moment. Then you hv to take it regularly.
But the meditation, counselling, and prayers do wonders in such situation. visit your church father regularly and tell him all wat u hv mentioned here repeatedly.
Depression is your inner feeling and as you keep telling others the feeling in your mind will get rectified and normalised.
I wish and pray fr ur normal life without antidepressants
