Okay, so after several months of being in denial, I am finally recognizing that I'm not just "down" or "blue"; I am depressed. I hate thinking that because, honestly, it is admitting that I am out of control and flawed. My lows are getting progressively lower, and my highs have become periods of barely being able to see into tomorrow. I have no excitement or desire left - my zest for life is completely gone. I know that this is partially situational, but there is also a lot of unexplained sadness. I cry a lot for no reason. I've turned into this unmotivated recluse, which is the absolute opposite of who I am.
So, today I called about twenty pschiatrists. I must not be the only one with issues because most of the doctors were accepting appointments starting in June and July. Anyhow, I managed to get in with someone on the 19th of this month, and I'm going to ask to be put on antidepressants.
I've been doing some research on the various drugs - because I hate the idea of putting foreign chemicals into my body and I want to know all of the risks/side effects - but I need to do something. There's got to be a change.
Anyhow, I'd like to know your various experiences with different antidepressants.
Thanks guys
