Depression pills

If you have depression, which only you can really know by how you feel inside, and you take depression medication it wont change who you are as a person. It wont change things the core values and beliefs that you hold now because the only thing that the medication does is changes the way a chemical is processed or produced in the brain. So depending on the medication you will be altering either Dopamine, norepinepherine, seratonin, etc. What it will alter is the way that your thoughts affect you. So if a situation occurs that would typically send you into the deepest sadness you ever felt, the medication would make it so that you still feel the emotion of sadness but its tolerable and not overwhelming. If you are truely feeling depressed definately take the medication. There are so many different ones that if you take one and you dont like the way it makes you feel they can switch it.. If you wrote the note only to get some feelings off your chest and you didnt really mean any of it..it was simply just to vent..well Id tell the therapist that…its confidental and its understandable..some people express those thought in writing. Its better to be honest then pretend to be taking medication. Hope this helps

I’m sure you are going to be the same person even after and while you are taking the pills. I think that physicians put people on pills, hoping that it will help their mind to be more settled and relaxed thinking that the pill is going to make them all better.. In all reality, the pill does not change you at all! it only helps to settle down and reduce your anxiety, worries, and you mind from going a million miles a minute. It just slows you down a little.. Not your body, but your mind.. It helps to level out the chemicals in your head and brain to make sure your mind is happy and ok.. Don’t feel bad about being on antidepressants.. hopefully they will help you to recover from having upset thoughts and times in your life.. Life will never be perfect, but us as people, especially woman, need to realize that our emotions sometimes take over and go crazy. We need to re-teach our body to take a step back, breath in breat out, and to relax every once in a while… I don’t think that A pill will cure depression, but it can certainly help for the time being. In the long run you need to be thinking about yourself. Try to encourage yourself to find the best in your everyday life.. And think positive.. When things get hard, try try try harder to think positive and to get through the hard times. Soon enough (but not quick enough) you will be retraining your brian and thought processes to deal with stress and problems a little better. Just remember that those antidepressant pills do have some side effects depending on what pill you are prescribed. Your Dr. Should have told you them, if not, look up the side effects on the internet… Some anti depressents have an opposite effect on people and make them want to commit suicide even more.. if this happens to you at all, call your Dr. and get help immediately, don’t take any more pills!! Also.. Be sure you are practicing safe sex(if you have sex) while on antidepressants. No antidepressent has been proven to be safe while pregnant, but some are better than others if they are absolutely necessary while pregnant. just know that if you think you may or could get pregnant talk with your dr. because antidepressants can cause problems to your child while in the womb.

Hope everything works out good for you.. If you ever need to talk or anything just funmail me!!

well thats a diferent thing altogether. take the pills to help yourself get a bit better and keep going to the head doc. you are doing the right thing. xx

Okay, just incase this helps with any further answers, it wasn’t just to vent. I had written it seriously and then hid it so they could find it after it had been done but my mom snoops a lot and she found it. No I do not plan on doing it anymore, I’m trying to work through things instead of doing something that I can’t undo.

I know a lot of media and tv talks about pills as if it changes you, or numbs you, or makes you a different person (oh I wish!) but they dont… it just maybe clears out that noise in the background that makes it harder to be alive (that voice that just wont shut up!)… it just regulates a couple of neurotransmitters, and if you dont like it, you tell her and they’ll switch you, or you can stop… and its not like you’re on them forever… Im not advocating pills, but they might help, what do you have to lose by trying them… (again you can always stop…) and suicide and suicidal thoughts are taken seriously becaure you cant take it back if you’re dead… people are worried about you, try and let them help you nothing lasts forever, even feeling like crap…

sometimes people write notes and letters not because they want to do it but just to get it of there chest. were you actually going to do it?? if it was all just writting to see it on paper then tell the counciller this. sometimes going on to anti depresants at a young age can change how you act and also change your emotions. for a while you may feel like a zombie. your mum is just trying to do the right thing for her baby girl thats why she got the counciller for you but I really would try talking before taking the drugs. go to the counciller open your heart up and tell them everything thats bothering you they can not tell your mum or dad what you have said and you will feel better. if you fight the counciller by not opening up then they may just make you take the tablets. xx

please never commit.. you have so much ahead of you and so much to live for! please
