Anyone have depression?

Question

My boyfriend says I need to get help. But I'm embarrassed to. I don't want people to feel sorry for me. I don't want the doctor to say I don't have it & I know I do. I've been dealing with it for about 6 months and it's terrible. It's so severe. I think suisidal thoughts. I cry over everything. I feel worthless. I over think things. I don't think I'm good enough. I hate myself. I can't keep it out of my head. My head is taken control of me & I can't stop it no matter how hard I try.

Answer

I have depression as well. I knew that the way I felt was affecting my marriage so I finally talked to my doctor and she prescribed me Celexa. Sometimes we have to do it for others around us even we don't want to do it for ourselves.

Answer

I have depression. My dr never didnt believe me. And it was my first time going to that dr. She gave me zoloft....and honestly it does make a world of difference! And actually its surprising how many ppl do have to take things for help 😊.

Answer

There is zero shame in having depression. I think everyone at some point or another experiences depression. Years ago I had serious bouts of depression. I am happy to say that I am proof that therapy and medication work. Please reach out to your doctor and family. Get some support during this tough time!

Answer

Honey, like the other person who commented said, just go to your doctor and tell them. And if for some crazy reason they don't take you seriously then switch doctors until you get someone you feel comfortable with and who will listen to you.  I have depression and thankfully my primary doctor, ob and counselor all took me seriously and helped me. I had to fill out a questioneer about my feelings. They asks a bunch of questions about how I felt and was feeling.(it wasn't long, the front of one page) obviously see what your doctor recommends but I think getting a counselor along with medication(if that is the route they/you choose) helps with making sure your success rate is highest.  If going to a counselor isn't your thing then find a friend/you boyfriend that supports you and can listen to you so I feel supported. I personally got a counselor,even though my fiancè is supportive of me. But baby steps at this point. And so you know, you're not alone and there is help out there.  I wish you luck and in case no one has told you today : you're worthy of life and happiness and you are strong enough to make it through this(even though it feels like it will never end). If you need some one to talk to I don't mind helping boost your confidence, listening to you or giving you advice. Good luck chicky and keep us updated.

I got help for my depression and anxiety, and it was the best decision I ever made.

Answer

Go to the doctor and tell them what you wrote here. They will believe you. You can feel better, you don't have to suffer, but you have to see a doctor to do that.

Answer

You should truly just go! Doctors are not there to judge, and if they do, just find a new one! You will feel 10000000 times better if you seek proper help. Everyone deserves to feel well, mentally and physically, and some people just need a little help getting there. Depression is a real thing, and shouldn't ever make you feel bad for having it. Mental disorders are just as important and dibilutating as physical ones. Find a trusted doc, and you will not regret it! Good luck, and I hope you find some relief!
