Depression need some answers on some stuff?!
Question: Depression need some answers on some stuff?
YEARS ago i was diagnosed Bi-Polar with Rage issues PTSD and the meds Helped me alot but im older now and think i should be able to deal with these feelings without the use of the medicaton..
Im pushing my friends and family away i think im closeing off and keeping in,, my girlfriend seys she dosent even see the person i once was in me anymore. she seys she still loves me but wants ME back if that makes sence "happy go lucky everyones friend can get a rooms attention easily"
Just for the record i QUIT the anti-depressant but not the anti-phycotic because i know i needed that .. any tips on how to feel better without medicatin my self again?
Answers:
Firstly the people in your life shouldn't put pressure on you to be your "old self" if you're going through a tough time they should support you not make you feel worse.You also say you feel like you should be able to deal with it without medication because you're older, i couldn't disagree more. Chances are everyone will be on some form of medication at one point in their life, it's what it's there for. If it works and makes you feel better then use it. But if you really want to try other remedies you could try speaking to a psychiatrist, talking about problems helps a great deal. There are many other home remedies such as relaxing music, meditation (which i find works wonders) or even simple things such as a long bath or a walk. i hope this was useful, and i hope you feel better soon. Best of luck :)
Counselling is a good idea. Sometimes u just need someone to talk to
Pray.
