Just face it...

See, a lot of people who should take anti-deppresants(sp) and know they should and KNOW that they would help (For some people depression medication doesn't work, but for those we haven't tried, or just get off of it for no reason, this is for you). I have stopped and started depression medication, but i finally realized that you CAN"T will your depression away. We are imperfect, and we need to face the fact. We need it to exist normally! And don't try to get out of it, because it will just mess you up even more. (i know from experiance). Anyways, i just wanted to let people know, that there is no other way around it, there is no willing it away, so just get in some meds, they might just help. It's worth a try.

it is jamie i hate meds...they suck man when my parents made me take them id just hide it under my toung then spit it out. and guess what i got better anyways

i donno if im depressed... i mean im pretty sure i am, since I have been for the last 3 years, but things have gotten so much better since then, but still sometimes I think I would be 10 times happier if I sought the help I was looking for. Im just scared to tell my parents. I mean i donno, I'm just really scared that they'll ask me a bunch of questions and I'll be put in one of those positions where I'll have to open up and I don't want too (were not that close). I don't know what to do:S:S:S!! someone help (sorry for asking for help on someones elses post, but it really made me think)... I mean I can't just pretend I'm not depressed and push it away... help someone:(

Just cuz you hate meds doesn't mean you shouldn't take them. I hate them too but most the time they fix the depression.

And i can't even tell you how many ppl take depression meds. There are WAY more than you think. I actually found out that my parents are on meds. Just cuz you approach them and state that you have been down, most likely they aren't going to point a finger at you and assume you have other problems related to depression. Or say your weird. It's not an odd thing to see today. Just a suggestion.

ive tried meds. but it makes me feel dead, like i have no emotions. like when one of my friends died and i found out i didnt cry for a full 2 hrs. i dunno if it was b.c of my meds or just plain shock, but i do know id rather live life depressed then live it like a plastic babie doll

you don't need meds. it's natural to have feelings, and also against nature to use something do evil that alters your feelings. cure it with nature-without the pain. think how many trees/animals have been killed/harmed to make those meds. species have been wiped out :( lol ... you are the only one who has control on your emotions,not some stupid drugs that will get you addicted. you have control,so face it without the meds. you can do it,i know you can! go you!
