Coping With the Blues: The *hopefully* Final Chapter

Hey ho guys, technically it's Saturday, but to me it feels Friday so meh. Friday morning I went to a doctor and the situation is graver than I thought (even though I shouldn't be surprised).

I have severe depression. Like major depression. It's now mandatory I take medication. I'm starting my meds in the morning to see how they work, and I'll be using them when I'm in Hell for several months. They're generic and have no harmful side-efects, so I'm glad for that. I just hope they really help me out to chill me down, cuz I'm sick of being at the bottom of the emotional well. I want to know happiness. I don't want to fake it anymore.

Oh, and to the guys angry at my "rant", that was me posting up info I heard and my thoughts on it. I may have stricter views than most, but that doesn't give people the right to start labeling me like the sickos that ran the south back in the segregation era. I try treating people I talk to with respect. I hope you learn to do the same.

@Necrotic_Lycanthrope: Hey, good luck. I hope the medication helps, depression is a serious illness.

@Lady_Liberty:

Thanks. :)

It's just difficult to cope when it's the only thing you know how to feel in life.

good luck once again

@Loki9876:

Thanks. :)

Good luck. My fiancee also suffers from depression and it thoroughly sucks. In all seriousness I hope you have a kick-ass support system. Hooray for generic cheapness!

@Queso6p4:

I was fine earlier today with the first med I took. Now I feel less than rock bottom now, but not sad, just really, really, angry. I hope with tomorrow I calm down even more than today. *fingerscrossed*

It took me a couple of Doctor's visits to find the right medication for my depression but once I did I felt great. I was productive and lively and more willing to put myself out there. It took about two weeks for it to really kick in. Hope this works out for you. Good luck.

@TheWitchingHour:

Thanks. I was given trial generic meds, but I'm going to be thousands of miles away in Italy, so my doctor can't watch me for side effects and junk.

Plus, Italian hospitals (IMO) hurt more than they help.

Okay. I will tell you what to do. Go to the liquor store, now, and get a bottle of this:

Okay, back? Ok. start taking chugs from the bottle (to hell with a shot glass) while listening to this:

Welcome to the blues.

That's how you handle the blues down in the South, lol... Crawl into a bottle, and drown your sorrows. If you are suicidal though, don't touch alcohol.

yeah

Depression from what? No nosiness intended.

Best of luck with the medication. Most of them (that I know of) take a while to really have an effect, but in my experience they really do help.

@Squares:

To those in my day-to-day life, I'm a lot calmer. To myself, I wish I had a bigger noticeable change.

@Necrotic_Lycanthrope: It can be hard to notice changes in one's self. Even with medication dealing with depression is difficult, it's just somewhat....less so.

@Squares:

Meh. I'm the kind that want immediate effects. I hate waiting around.
