do you remember what the meds were called? how long were you on them?
i'm really sorry to hear. i can't begin to understand what it feels like to be in your circumstance. You have every right to be angry and betrayed by the therapists calling the cops on you and you are allowed to feel down. but you seem to have been through so much, as bleak as the future seems right now, don't focus on it. you can get through this, you have clearly been through a lot and you're much stronger than you give yourself credit for
Seronil if I remember correctly. I also used Ketipinor for anxiety/panic attacks.
I stress about the future a lot, mostly because of what I've been through. I'm scared to start things without knowing if or when and how they will end.
Seronil takes over 2 weeks to work at the very least, sometimes it can take up to a month and the danger is that your mental health could worsen before it finally becomes effective- this is something doctors are aware of but the drug is a better option than taking nothing.
medications do make a difference to your mood and can help you recover but you have to also be active and try other things to help yourself. It's like trying to lose weight. if you're on a diet pill, yes, you may not feel hungry all the time but you have to also try and diet and exercise.
it's okay to be stressed and afraid of starting things. but you have to remember that every decision we make in our life is a gamble. the only way you can find treasure is if you take the risks and an achievement is not rewarding unless you have had to hard work for it.
I've suffered with depression recently too especially with the coronavirus lockdown. I can understand how difficult it is to get yourself out of the habit, to wake up in the mornings, to face the day and have little enjoyment in what you do.
what has helped me is that I've tried doing more rewarding activities like going for long walks, drawing and painting, finishing my university work.
the way i see depression is that it is suppression of the reward pathway in our brain. if you try and do things that you enjoy and have a sense of satisfaction when doing it, then you will slowly activate that pathway little by little everyday.
do something that you can be proud of yourself for doing, sort out your wardrobe? bake something you have always wanted to try, call someone you haven't spoken to in a while even if you're anxious about it. At
i hope this has been helpful to you xx
I took it for a year. Yes it got worse that's why I wanted to die in the first place. I know well how seronil works since I have taken it, and my mom has taken it before. The doctor ALSO explained it since she knew that I'd been self destructive. And I don't really feel proud of myself for anything because all I seem to be good at is f'ing up.
