depression?

Question

Do any of you ever feel so depressed that you literally want to just end it all? I feel like I'm being wildly dramatic...but some days I feel so terrible I wonder if I should get on medication..maybe it has something to do hormones or whatever but I'm wondering if anyone else goes weeks with feeling fine and then just seriously drop?

Answer

Please talk to your doctor. Ante- parturm is a real thing and should be taken seriously. Too many people say it's just the hormones and it's not. Also, thoughts of suicide should always be followed by a conversation with a mental health specialist.

Answer

Yes. It's really not uncommon. I would suggest talking to your doctor about your feelings and what you're experiencing so you can work out what's best for you. I struggled with depression and anxiety for years before I realized what I was going through wasn't normal and that other people didn't deal with that on a regular basis. Even then it still took me a long time to finally see someone about it but I'm so glad I did! I am on a low dosage of antidepressants and I see a counselor once a month... things have been so much better since I started. It can't hurt to try.

Answer

I have never been suicidal. However I have ptsd from childhood. Just extremely awful stuff that went on way too long. This has caused me to have terrible mood swings. I have never wanted to be on meds before because I was scared of how I would react. The last few years have not been great. It's worsened the last few months, barely getting out of bed only to take care of my animals and to go to work. I finally decided it was time to do something. Went to my doctor to talk and I am starting on a low dose of antidepressants. I have been to counseling for 5 years and I feel like I got everything out as far as going back into the past to be able to move forward. I feel like it's time to move forward with life. She did suggest counseling. I will probably look into it. I've been crying a lot for what seems like no reason, constantly tired. You can develop depression at any age for any reason.

Answer

Yup.  An anti depressant would do wonders for you.  I used to feel all kinds of crazy unstable emotions.  Prozac has saved my life
