bump
someone reply to my thread of self-pityi don't blame, you i wouldn't reply
>>27516145
I'm at a level where, on average, it's bearable. I'd rather be fine, or worse so i could ignore the feelings of guilt about upsetting my parents
Watch some mateusz m vids and get up becoming someone

i dunno OP, if you're having frequent thoughts of killing yourself, that called 'suicidal ideation'
that's a pretty common symptom of depression, where one is fantasising about escape from everything on top of them - and the fact that you haven't pulled it together and offed yourself would be a sign that you're also extremely unmotivated
.. which is another characteristic of chronic depression

Will watch some tonight, thank you

Definition of suicidal ideation is pretty spot on
I've been diagnosed with depression. I was given some SSRIs, but they made me sleep 18 hours a day, rather than the normal 12.

>Definition of suicidal ideation is pretty spot on
well i'm a chronic depressive who's been battling with suicide since adolescence, so i kinda know a lil sumfin sumfin
i've also been on several anti-depressants throughout the years before i found one that allowed me to be halfway functional, only sleeping at night rather than those 14-18 hours
might be worthwhile going back to your doc and trying to find something that works

Which one worked for you?
I was given Citalopram. After I came off I asked for Wellbutrin, but was given Setraline, which is basically just Citalopram again.
I need help with motivation and energy, so I don't think drugs with sedative side effects are going to be useful
>>27517239
i've been using one called Mirtazapine for about 5 years now - it does have a sedative effect, so i take it one hour before i want to sleep and then i'm out for 6-8 hours
this has been really beneficial to me since i'm also an insomniac with extremely disturbed sleep
course one of he most important things about using any medication like that, is pairing the emds with therapy; because once the feels are put into the background, the mind needs to vomit out some of the root causes of that grief and process it
and because i grabbed some counselling for the root causes, and developed a half-decent support network with that new-found motivation, i've been relatively free of the suicidal ideation for about 3 years now
>>27516538
i said i'd watch the videos, but i don't have the motivation
>>27517464
i'm glad you're feeling better, how long until they found a medicine that worked? mirtazapine seems pretty unusual
>>27517794
>i'm glad you're feeling better
i'm still chronically depressed, the meds just take the edge off - it's the talking it out with people i trust which really helps
as for the length of time it took, nearly a decade of trying different anti-depressants at varying doses
