Greetings all,
I normally dont post topics on here because I would rather read everyone elses and respond to those rather than myself, but I've been thinking alot about anti depressants lately and I'd appreciate some feedback if applicable.
I know that I'm depressed, its a fact. Ive been depressed for almost 2 years now. I finally just started going to counseling, but my family/friends dont know because im too scared theyd be upset if they knew i was going. in all honesty, i really think that i should bring this up to my doctor because i think my only other solution is taking a med. counseling helps-i have a wonderful counselor and i love going to their office to talk about things, but it kind of only feels temporary. when i see this person, i feel better, but then when i dont have an appt for a few weeks i just drag and i feel all gloomy again. im also afraid to tell my doctor im depressed becasue i dont want to be taken to the hospital, and i also think that he wont believe me because i never mentioned it before. everyone thinks im a drama queen and i over-exaggerate things, so by sharing that im depressed and need help, they'll just htink im looking for attention. thats all. so what do i do?
