I could use some advice since my life is a mess and has maintained that status for 48 years. I am at a loss to change old patterns because of lonliness and depression. I would appreciate anyones help. I am on instant messenger or email. It would be GREATLY appreciated!
I feel like I’m running out of options for treating my depression and I have no clue what to do.
I’ve been depressed since I was 12, finally got help when I was 16.
I visit a psychologist weekly for an hour.
Since I started seeing somebody about my depression, I’ve tried so many medications…
I’ve been on: Wellbutrin, Lexapro, Prozac, Strattera, Cymbalta, Buspar, Zoloft, Trazadone, Remeron, Trileptal
I probably forgot one or two.
Since I began treatment, I’ve gotten a lot worse.
I have no motivation, I’ve lost interest in all of my hobbies, I’ve lost the ability to cry, I have problems dealing with feelings of loneliness, I feel the need to stay up late, and I’m just a wreck in general.
My motivation problems have gotten so severe that I can’t do more than one sheet of schoolwork a day, and I quit drawing after 15 minutes or so. (I used to be an avid doodler)
I’ve been to a mental hospital before, the day I got out I got depressed again.
I really don’t know what to do.
I’m running out of medication options, and time.
I’m going to be graduating next January, and I have no idea what I’m going to do this summer.
I’m so scared I’m going to get worse.
Just as a side note, I do have suicidal thoughts, I don’t have friends outside of my school (and they never do anything outside of school) and I find everything boring.
ive read all about this for years and have desperately tried to get diagnosed for years.
have had ultrasound scans f/ blood tests for years with nothing showing
had a transvaginal one today and she said it showed multiple cysts/12 or more on my ovaries.and a dominant one (would this need to be removed?) she never said.
she said she will send a report to the gp, should it go to the endocrinologist who sent me for it? i may get a referral to an gynacologist
so does this mean i have pcos/
i have the excess hair, sweats, depression, but i have weight loss not weight gain likemost women. and my period is as right as clockwork never missed one ever.
endo gave me vaniqua to go on and ive tried laser
help please any advice
Like symptoms other than the obvious ones like feeling down.
When does someone get the point where help from medication is needed. I know someone who is suffering from a form of depression but is worried that the antidepression tablets will have worse side effects. Its hard to know if its severe depression or even depression at all.

i just realised how much they care for their young so i wonder..
First of all, because I know that I’ll get some answers like “Go play with your friends” or “Go to the park/mall/movies/whatever” But I can’t. Here is just some extra info that might help weed out the answers I’m NOT looking for. I am 14. I live in a small complex with my two parents who baby me. I am not allowed out of the complex unless it is to go to school. In my complex is a 8 year old who idolizes me, a 3 year old who is spoiled and cries to much, and a 11 year old who doesn’t speak English. No, It is NOT fun to spend all summer with an 8 year old kid and her baby brother, OK? My Mom doesn’t let me have my friends from school over because she claims they ‘distract her’ inside the house, and outside she has to supervise them. and I can’t go to their house because she says she doesn’t know their parents well enough. (I’ve only been their friend for a year.)
Ok. On to the question. My Mom is addicted to WoW. Yes. Addicted. Her only friend of 10 years has been ignoring her and fighting with her for most of those years. —-I Cannot bring them together again, DON’T SUGGEST IT. PLEASE.—- My Dad is a truck driver and goes out of town every summer for the whole summer and when he does, It leaves me alone with my Mom. At first it is great! She works, so I get the whole day to myself to do ANYTHING I want. After first week though, It gets terrible. And It has come to my attention this month, that I most likely have depression from it. My Mom has this guy on WoW who she Is lying to, (saying she is 23, has my name, and the picture she sent him is my sisters) and he calls her Babygurl. I glanced at the computer and the e-mail she was replying to said something like “I’m glad I have your heart. .you’re a great person…etc.” She talks on a voice chat system with him so I cannot even play piano, which I love to do, or even talk to her or else she yells at me. She doesn’t make me supper, and hasn’t been grocery shopping in two months. Thank god my sisters come over every few days and bring me a decent lunch when my Mom is at work. I am VERY tempted to break the discs/hack the account/whatever but I cannot do that. I’m not that kind of person, and even if I was, she would know it was me. I’m the ONLY one who knows her password (Its jumbled letters) She has lightly slapped me for NOT helping her with her game because I was reading, I’m afraid to do anything to her account. How can I get her to spend more time with me? Please. I’m desperate.
Could someone also tell me if I might have depression?
These are my symptoms:
~I sleep either 4 hours a night, or 17 hours (approximately) It differs by the day and if my sisters come over.
~I very rarely have food to eat and when I do eat, I eat A LOT. I’m talking nine chicken fingers, and four hotdogs in two hours.
~I have pains in my upper arms and legs. Sometimes something as slight as pulling a blanket over my head is enough to cause pain/make it sore.
~I get mad a lot. I have typed and erased about seven swears in this question because I just get so pissed. And when my family call me lazy cause I won’t clean the house for my mom when she gets home from work, I am so mad I feel like I want to hit them. I’m NOT fucking lazy. I just don’t respect my mom. Why should I fucking clean her house when she won’t even lift a finger to keep me healthy???? And its PAINFUL for me. I get so fatigued so much from it sometimes I just collapse onto the couch and sleep.
~I don’t do the things I like to anymore. I cannot bring myself to right my story, or to even read anymore. And I feel my intelligence is being affected.
Just incase people think I am exaggerating my ‘horrible summer’ this is my schedule. One for near the beginning of the summer, and one near the end.

Please help me. I need advice. And yeah, I guess a bit of this was just venting too. I don’t get to vent that much.
After taking medicines he becomes alright after three or four weeks. Tell me whether this is due to imbalance of neuro chemicals?
I’ve been taking Prozac since May last year. Unfortunately the depression’s returning.
You know it feels I’m trapped in a prison cell with a stormy dark cloud above, and I can’t get out no matter how hard I try. I don’t experience the typical melancholic, sad, guilty depression; I get anxious, irritable, experience rage attacks, threatening to harm people, I become obsessive, worrying, can only see things as negative, paranoia etc….. It sounds more like a mixed episode. Does that mean that I’m manic depressive rather than major depressive? It could be cause my dad’s bipolar.
My mental health professionals a part of team to help me, however - my psychiatrist can’t see me, my psychologist is gonna see me in 2 weeks for to continue his working diagnosis - man he thinks I have Asperger syndrome!^%$%^!!!
