| Re: depressed sometimes.
Hi Tomato,
I too suffered from depression from my late teens onward. Unfortunately I was unable to be diagnosed or treated until I was in my late forties and had been drinking for three years in a last attempt to cope with life. For me, meds are the answer and I will never stop taking them. I still feel down sometimes of course, but the difference is that now I can cope with it. Before it was just a contuing downward spiral. You say you're not sure what you think about the meds you're taking. How long have you been taking them, because as you probably know they do take awhile to kick in. The other thing I would say is I had to try 3 different meds and then 3 different doses of that med, to find one that worked. I guess I'm just saying don't give up on the meds if you think there's a chance they will help.
Other than that, have you considered counselling? Sometimes, if you find the right person, it can help. Have you considered looking for a job near to where your boyfriend lives and moving there? Maybe that's a possibility.
I hope you keep posting and hang in there.
Love, Anna
