Recently I was on anti-depressants but had awful side-effects and hated how they affected me.
I feel that I am being fobbed off with these tablets as it is an easy answer instead of other
alternatives.

Most drugs make me hallucinate. Badly. Others made me have horrible sleep. The rest take away what makes me, me. My imagination and creativity.

There is only one anti-depressant that minors (which I am) are allowed to take in my location (Prozac). I tried it and it didn't help one little bit. I can't take sedatives I took one once.......and well, you don't need to know.

Pretty much because my parents are the ones who are making my condition out ot be FAR worse than it is and they constantly convince me that I can't function in the world without them babying and inspecting me constantly.

I refused to take anything before when people said maybe it would help me, because I thought it would impair my ability to figure out my problems that were making me depressed in the first place, and I also thought it would compromise my survival instinct. Also, since I wasn't doing much, I thought it was insulting for people to say I may need something to function instead of just being able to do it myself without being told what to do, or being medicated into just being normal.

(Now I need an antidepressant and I take it. I knew I needed something, I was understimmed, and by then I understood that it would help my understimulation by stimulating me.)

Read this thread. It has a lot do with RockAmanda
