For those with depression >>

Last August I was diagnosed with severe depression and for three months was at rock bottom. After one of my suicide attempts I ended up in hospital and have had many ups and downs since then.

I won't say I'm over it because you can never really be sure, but I definitely am a lot stronger. I no longer get suicidal tendancies and if I do have thoughts of cutting, they pass within a few minutes as I keep telling myself I'm stronger than that and eventually I've started to believe it.

I was first prescribed Fluoxetine which made me almost zombie-like for a month so was put on 250mg of Sertraline instead. They worked for a while but I was still cutting and after being sexually assaulted in Feb I knew they weren't helping anymore so the doc doubled the dosage.

Basically if there's ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP with advice or just wants to talk I'M MORE THAN HAPPY to do that. I don't judge, I don't charge... AND I have the experience... not like some of those physciatrists out there.

So yeah, if you wanna talk or need advice or help with anything to do with depression please don't be afraid to ask... or message me if you like.

Thanks you two, yeah it sure is a rollercoaster ride but if there's one thing that helps it's advice from people who have been through a similar situation.

What's the point in going to talk to some professional person who is just gonna tell you what you wanna hear, and probably charge a bomb for it, when there are people out there (like myself) who want to help just because.

I'm online for the next few hours if anyone needs advice or just wants to talk... message me if you don't wanna post

It's great to hear the positive stuff all right!!
Life can sure be a roller coaster ride can't it?
What would the roller coaster be like if it just went in one direction!!
Thanks for your great post.
We all need help in one way or another, at some time or other, we're frequently too afraid to admit it.
