Not the place for it, I guess, but I seriously do not know what the fuck I am going to do. I'm suffering from major depression. I thought it went away, but apparently not. The problems I'm facing aren't mine to solve, yet the people who are making me feel like shit aren't going to stop or actually acknowledge what the fuck they did, and I've been suggested to take antidepressants. I am fucking scared. I've heard about the side effects, haven't really tried taking the pills, and I don't know what to do. Counselling does not help, and I need an unbiased opinion. I'm too nervous to approach forums for this kind of crap or hotlines or whatever the fuck, my family's not a choice, I don't trust the counsellor too much, and like I said, I need an unbiased opinion. So I stuck to forums. To you. Should I take antidepressants? How the fuck should I cope? I'm probably going to get a lot of shit for this, completely expected. Sorry. If it's going to die, okay.
lol okay To clarify, I'm suffering from major depressions, contemplating antidepressants, and I need advice because I'm completely unsure about what the fuck happens once I take them. Even reading about the side effects fucks me up.
If you can't help, that's understandable. But note that this was not directed to a single human being, and not you. Thanks for suggesting me to consult a doctor, but my mom will go fucking ape if I tell her I'm suffering from a mental disorder and hid this from her for two years.
And guys, I'm really grateful you took the time to read this, and I just want you to know I'm not trying to push you away or anything. I'm just saying that I would have thought of multiple options before posting. Sorry again. :c
Wow. I just received a message. Thank you so much for replying. ,_, I'm silenced, but is it possible to contact you on pal?
I have my DSM 4 with me, i just wanna ask if, u are suffering from these.. Do you feel hopelessness and dispair? do you feel worthless? do you feel havn a restlessness or feelin slowed down? Do you feel like you want suicide?(attempt) And having conversation to public about this might also goin to add depression to you. You must talk to a person, one on one. For your privacy. I wanna help you. Cause its also my major.
Yes to all of that. :/ I took a test for the fuck of it, then when I was told I got a 53 out of 60 I was alarmed. My counsellor told me I was suffering from major disorder, and needed to seek immediate professional help. And I got hints and knew I had a problem. I just refused to believe I actually had major depression. Ignorance is somewhat bliss, I guess.
Okay. Can we talk private? Dont worry. Im a girl too. i really wanna help u. To all knowledge i can. But, ur counselor already told u that you need psychiatrist?...so, Im not a professional. But, at least i can suggest some thngs i know.

My honest advice to be to look into religion, Christianity would be ideal. There are branches of Christianity that are spritually close to their God, such as Baptists and Pentecostals. Just my two cents.
My Mum has been on Anti-Depressants for most of her life. They are hard to get off. Most of the time with depression you need to work out the problem that has got you to that low point in your life. I deal with my emotions by writing. It helps me deal with a lot, especially with what I am going through at the moment. Maybe there are other ways you can deal with your emotions instead of relying on anti depressants. To all you saying you cannot help because you arent qualified. You all probably know someone who suffers. Op is just looking for somebody to talk too and some advice. Hope you figure it out xx
you would rather take advice from strangers on a gaming forum than face your friends and family irl? you've already gotten the best advice when someone irl told you to seek immediate professional help. /)_-
