Why isn't medication helping my depression?

I'm so stressed and tired. I take meds to help. But,I'm so angry and its hard to deal with life. I'm so fat and ugly and old feeling too. I don't know why... I bellydance for 2 hrs everyother night and eat only twice a day because I see food and...

instantly feel full and hate the food fiercely.I'm a vegetarian too and when I see junk food I want to puke at the sight of it.I don't drink much of anything either...just juice like 2 cups during the day. I've never wanted to be anorexic or bulimic but..am I??. I have just been staying angry and tired I don't want to eat...even though at first I feel hungry. I can't concentrate ...my house is hard to keep clean. even as I type this I'm pausing to rest ..I feel so ...dead like. I really don't want to be like this... I wish I was happy,smiling,and thin again. I don't even want to wear makeup. I need help... please help...please...

Well what you should do is try and go for a different look go shopping...go get your hair done change to color or something...eat healthy fruits and veggies kinda like that exercise 20 minutes a day...go jogging once in awhile...you have to like of yourself that your beautiful and stuff...stop thinking negitive and start thinking positive..

It's easier said than I done.. I promise... Life throws hard times at you sometimes and its just hard to deal with. I totally understand. I can't explain why bad thoughts and feelings happen, but they do. Noone will be able to tell you anything to help you out until you make your own decision to get out and do what you want! Think for yourself! What is it that you have really wanted to do in life? Do it!! Do it for yourself!! Let loose!! Don't work so hard!! Don't think too much!! Just enjoy, have fun, and relax... Only time will heal your pain, Time may be a long time, but someday, you will overcome this and you will be better! I know that you said you're on meds, I'm glad to hear you do know there is a problem that needs to be addressed and went to the dr. to get help. But other than that, you need to talk, let out your feelings, get out of the house, force yourself to go outside, see the light, think positive thoughts, hope, wish, dream for things to get better, and for a brighter future!! You are not alone!! I have faith in you and YOU will overcome this hard battle!! Funmeil me if you ever want to just talk.. or let anything out... I know life is not easy, and it's not going to get any easier, but hopefully we all can work through this world together and find a way to deal with things in a better way to make them feel easier!! Good luck!!

you can always ask you doctor to change your meds a lot of anti-dipressants can even make you feel worse if you can afford it you can get a therapists just for someone to talk to or you can go to the hospital and they can hook you up with a place for eating disorders and depression would probably b the cause of it so the clinique would help you take care of it

the only way to cure depression is not by medicine its by letting urself believe that by being depress nothing will be solve only if you can learnd how to opend your mind,soul and heart to those other feeling than just depression then my freind u'll be able to walk through the path of joy but you must learn to gide your spirit don't let anything take you down easily learn to control your emotions don't let them control you. (I tried for 3 years and couldn't do it my friends offer me help I said no I told them that if I didn't learnd to get out of it myself then what was the point of my life im the type of person who thinks that you learnd better the hard way never take the easy way out because u'll learnd nothing) anyways thats just me and how I think just good luck my friend.
