Post Reply New Topic

I am sad. i dont quite know why. i haven't been thinking negatively. but i am depressed.

I take depression pills but still i am depressed. i just feel like something is missing in my life. i have no goal in life , no direction i see no point in life. dont get me wrong , i want to live. it just i dont know what to do with my life.

i feel i am wasting time and i dont know how to utilize it properly. i am to stuck in my head over thinking things that i fail to enjoy life and it feels empty to me.

help! how can i stop doing that...

I am great full for no problems but i want to enjoy this happy peaceful time in my life and quite being so depressed.

i have friends and i am hanging out with them almost every day but still i am depressed. i pretend to be happy hoping it will make me happy but i doesn't. i am sad and i cant seem to snap out of it. the meds have helped me relax a bit but they certainly aren't taking my depression away. they just make me foggy brained and give me energy.

i want o feel like i used to. i want to feel alive and not like i am missing out on something.

It sounds like your biochemical depression, despite your pills, is still not under control. You need to speak to your psych about this. It may come down to hospitalization with medical monitoring while you try different combinations of meds.

It is good that you know that you are missing out on something. Stop taking pills. They are for depression but depression never gets better? Think about it. Its a money making scheme BS. Thats the first step. What made you happy in the past?

You can't stop taking antidepressants just like that! They need to be taking out gradually, under the supervision of a professional.

@just-me;: I hope you will find a way to be happy.

I know, i used to tell everyone that on the forum. but i had bad insomnia that forced me back on meds. they are helping a bit. but not 100%

they help my anxiety and gave me more energy. but i am still sad to some extent. i feel i am missing something.

i want to feel better.

funny thing.....
getting off my meds in the past made me feel better. and being around my boyfriend.

i got off my meds with the supervision of my doctor.

i got sad because my boyfriend is far away and my mom almost died, we are losing the house and i was kicked out for awhile.

my depression is much better but not gone.i just feel like something is missing. i dont feel alive. i feel kind lacking in emotion. less then i was but still lacking.

i lack direction. i dont know what to do with my life or even my days. i worry i am wasting my life and i will be old before i get a chance to live my life.

i want to be with my boyfriend get married and have kids. but i cant do any of that because i cant get married whall on dissablity. cant have kids till i am fit to be a good mom. and my boyfriend lives in another country so he cant be with me.

so my life is on hold . so perhaps that is my problem. i feel empty without direction.

no my meds are straight. i was in partial hospitalization for a while wha'll i got on meds and they tried different ones. i dont need to be hospitalized since i am not a danger to myself or others.

you dont commit yourself for being a bit sad. Ive been much worse before.


besides medication has never really helped me like it supposedly helps others. its working but i dont think it will ever fully work.

my therapist says i need to work on being more present. i was in partial hospitalization for ptsd ,flashbacks, insomnia, depression and my sensory processing disorder. the group therapy helped me alot and it got me in a good sleeping schedule having to get up 5 days a week and go to group. i saw the psychiatrist once a week. that's how they got my meds straight. I am sleeping now too.

She should have never been put on medication to begin with. Get off of their drugs anyway that you can if you want to be a human being.

You don't know much about depression and anti-depressants really. There is some case where medication can be good, which is thereason why it's exist in the first place, and it's propably not a good moment for just-me to stop it either.

If your meds aren't working the way they should, you really need to talk to your doctor (or whoever prescribed them) and get that straightened out. Oftentimes, depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and for that, medication can be helpful.

Just-me, do you think it would help if you sat down with someone and worked together with them to figure out a direction for your life? Even if it's not the direction you ultimately want to go, having something that motivates you and makes you excited and happy is better than having nothing at all.
