stigmatized ?

Hi all,

Today im very sad because i am an abroad depressed student and i am skipping classes because i don't feel well.My classmates just texted me that a professor is somewhat angry with me.She doesn't know about my illness.I am going to ask my psychiatrist for a proof document and show it to my professor.The problem is that i don't want to be excused,its just depression..you all know..i wish i had the mood to do everything and another problem is that i feel like im going to be stigmatized...What to you think? Please help...

Regards,
Jeoch

Jeoch,

Welcome to the forum. Good decision on letting your professor know.

Check with the college and see if there is a Wellness Center or councelor center available to student at your University. Many have therapist available free to students.

Take vitamin D3 to help with your mood, it really do help keep you out of the darkness, ask the pharmacist how much you should take, if you do not have a doctor you can go and see.

Keep posting here as Karen says, we support, listen and care about each other best we can.

Hello guys,

I've been on psychotherapy with my university's psychologist since December and things weren't getting better because of many reasons.Then she sent me to s psychiatrist and he prescribed antidepressants and anxiolytics. Im on medication for 13 days.I am a medical student as well. I am having a very difficult time :( Having negative thoughts from the past,present and afraid of the future..so hopeless.

Thanks for the support,
Hugs,Jeoch

keep strong.

with healing compassion,
