I don't know if others would agree but getting on and staying on the proper meds makes a world of difference. It is hard to realize you need the meds but once you do and stick with them things around you stop falling apart
yeah meds may work. I took some at one point, but they just didn't work for me so I kinda gave them up. I also don't have health insurance anymore so that doesn't help. I can look into it again
Hey, I wanted to leave a comment because Im 23 and have been dealing with anxiety and depression for 7 years now. Yeah everything started pretty young and the worst part is doctors continued telling me and my mom that it was hormones or a phase. Until one day I called my mom at work literally I was shaking and foaming from the mouth as well as I completely destroyed our computer room. That day we went STRAIGHT to the doctors and from there the journey began. It has been a freaking rollercoaster but I do want to say no matter how against meds people are in my case it was needed and yes it takes alittle bit to find a med that works, but you need to be willing to take the time to try a few different ones. Just because one doesnt make you feel right DOESNT mean there isnt one that can help you. I was eventually diagnosed with BiPolar Type 2. I went through SOOO many meds to see what would work because sometimes its a chemical imbalance and meds is the only thing that can help that. Sometimes its the fact your mind set just races to the

As young as I am, in the last 6 months or so, I have never honestly been happy. I have never thought of suicide, or self harm, but lately, if you say one thing to me, I go off. I just go cry and think about cutting. But I have never actually done it. It's hard, depression, it really is. Especially if the people around you aren't willing to help, and are forcing you to tell them what's wrong and tell you it's all okay and this and that aren't true. It aggravates you more and more to the point where you push people away. So, if you still need to talk, I'm here..
Hey! I completely understand where you are coming from!! I used (?) to be depressed and suicidal and then I got better... for about two years... and in the last three months, i've been doing a lot of thinking.. of how my life is so messed up. I tried killing myself about two weeks ago. I failed. I was on some prescriptive meds (not prescribed to me though) to lose some weight and I thought they were impacting my hormones. I went off all drugs. And I'm still not better. I know how you feel. And let me just tell you now, I've just cut myself today. And it feels like I havent gotten better at all. That I'm still the same 21 year old that tried multiple times. I don't know what to do either, but I can tell you... don't cut yourself... because that will be a very slippery slope back down.
