I told my mom the other day that I want to stop taking my depression and anxiety medicine. It just…stopped working. I’m miserable all the time, have no energy, get upset easily. I SI’ed a couple of days ago over something really stupid, but I just can’t control myself! My grades, although they have risen from last year when I was really bad, aren’t exactly where I want them to be. I have to get them up for college! There’s so much stress to do great. My parents still don’t know that I SI, and I’ll probably never find the guts to tell them. I showed my best friend the other day, so at least she’s here to support me, yet I still feel horrible. Like I’m lonely, like I’ll never fit in, like I’m ugly, like nothing will ever be good. Why can’t I just be normal, why can’t everything seem okay again? Ugh…. 🙁 Help, please!
There is no such thing as normal really. Thast was a big fear of mine about taking medicine that it wouldnt work but you shouldnt give up on your self and you should trust your friend to help you through this.. you arent alone the are people that want to help you and that are there to show you through this… nothing is ever perfect but you can feel that you can make it that way because you are a strong and amazing person.. just dont give up because things dont feel perfect right now. if you ever need to talk about anything send me and email to jjmsgirl@gmail.com i’m always trying to help people with the same thing i am going through and think that you deserve to have someone who knows how you feel right now… I’m here any time you need me.
i thought i wanted to stop taking my depression meds too… and being in college i did. worst idea of my life. i no longer wanted to just si i didnt want to be here. i know you feel and think they’re not working but chances are they’re still doing something for you even if it feels like they arn’t working as well as they were before. hang in there.
