Keep your chin up! I know exactly how you feel. I’ve been suffering from depression and anxiety most of my life. I hope the psychiatrist helps.

I hope your appointment today goes/went well!

I tried depression medication recently… I felt like such an asshole for having to “resort to” taking it. A lot of friends talked to me about how needing more-than-just-therapy isn’t any kind of failure on my part, and how it’s not an indication that I’m broken — sprained, maybe, and in need of a little outside help to start healing myself, but not broken. It sounded like placating bullshit at the time, and this might to you, but I do think that’s a good way of looking at it.

I’m really glad you’re getting yourself help, and that it seems like it’s working a little.

I’m glad you feel a little bit better. Sometimes our bodies dont’ work right and we have to take pills to “fix” us. Sucks I know but hang in there. I’m glad you were able to get out a bit. Sounds like it is getting better.

My daughter was born after yours, but I’ve experienced depression as well. I am also on Zoloft and I am glad to know the diahreaa may also be a real side effect! Anways, I know how you feel. its miserable. But give the meds time to work. There is nothing wrong with taking them, its just a different kind of vitamin. heads up. cheers!

good for you. it is what it is, like you say. people take pills for all sorts of reasons – no reason you shouldn’t take one or ten to help with what you need. here’s to hoping the shrink doesn’t suck
