I'm not saying you definitely need medication but therapy can be helpful and a therapist could give you a more informed opinion on whether they could help you or not. I take a few things but Wellbutrin really has helped me with motivation and concentration at school. I was having problems the past semester and we upped it and I immediately felt stupid that I resisted it because I feel so much better. Taking more or starting something seems disappointing, like giving in but it's really the opposite. Does it suck that I need medication to function? Yes. But I simply wouldn't function without it. That makes it worth it for me. Everyone has different pros and cons to consider. Last edited by reprise85 : 03-22-2016 at 10:23 PM. |

it comes back to the whole integrity thing i was talking about. or maybe i didn't cause i deleted it before hitting 'submit', i don't know. but i just don't want to fucking feel like this anymore and i don't care what the consequences are. either way it'll be a good few months before i go back home so no meds until then. |

you can't get meds where you are now? assuming you're somewhere without universal healthcare eh?
sorry you're having such a bad time of it. there's nothing that can be said that doesn't sound stupid so i'll just say you're in my thoughts and I've been there and gotten better and so can you |

One thing about rx antidepressants I'll just throw out there
Make sure you have a dr who is actually seeing you at like 2-week intervals as you try em out. Or have friends you see often that are well acquainted with your normal demeanor, etc, and can alert you if something's up. I say this because I once went on a full-throttle manic episode on a very low dose of cymbalta. It lasted like three weeks and I behaved very badly/dangerously and I lost a job, a true love, countless friends, and my family has never looked at me the same since. The dr who prescribed it had her assistant call me just once about two weeks into the trial: "how's it working?" Me, on the other end of the phone, snorting, strutting, baring my fangs, "oh it's working great! Thanks!" |

I haven't even managed to stay on antidepressants for over a month. Not counting wellbutrin which it turned out did nothing. Though i intend to try again as soon as my current drug study is over.

i smoked some hash with a friend the other day. i used to be a pretty heavy pot smoker. i'd unwind every night with a joint or two. i haven't smoked any marijuana at all for at least 6-7 months. being where i am right now i definitely don't enjoy it as i used to. it gets my thoughts going and you guys all know how bad that goes when it gets rolling (if not, may i suggest you glance at my confessional movie review ghost thread)

Yeah that's the problem with treating mania as well. It feels good. Lots of people don't want to take the meds, or think they can somehow be manic for a few days or whatever and keep it from getting out of hand and then take their meds again. Doesn't work very well from what I've seen. I personally have never had any kind of mania except from sleep deprivation which ofc doesn't count.

Yes, thing you've read could bias your interpretations and info you tell him or her. But, they'll be a standardized background they take of you - called a biopsychosocial - your biological, psychological, and social history (family history/traumas). So they should ask you any direct questions they want answered.
Just because your issues are relatively mild compared to someone who is severely depressed, that doesn't mean they aren't a big deal or make a big difference in your quality of life. You don't have to live with a reduced quality of life or a life where you're off balance all the time. And thinking about suicide every day - even abstractly - is not something that most people do. Therapy may or may not be able to help that and I'm not sure how distracting/disrupting the thoughts are to you, but they can possible be helped. |

I can't imagine how someone could go through a whole day without contemplating suicide
I don't even mean that in a depressing oh woe is me way. I'm just so used to thinking about it that it often crosses my mind in a completely casual, emotionally disconnected way. |

i have a fear/excitement about jumping in front of a train. some days i'm scared some rando will push me on the tracks and i avoid standing near anyone with my back against a wall. other days i pace around the platform and pop my head over the tracks every so often to see if the train is coming. when the train is approaching i get a little worried and excited (in the original sense of the word) that i might lose my mind for a second and jump.
it's just freaky that it should be so easy. the mind of a commuter wanders a lot - nothing else to do. |

I think about jumping in front of trucks, trains, going nuts in airport security, jumping whenever I am in a high place...
it's totally my normal function as I go through life. Doesn't bother me anymore and isn't depressing. It's disconnected from the feeling I get when I actually want to kill myself. |
