I remember thinking that myself.. Because I had sat there about something else initially... then I started bawling my eyes out.. and he said 'Here take these'...

I'm sure it was more to shut me up and get me the hell OUT of his office.

Most Anti depressant are only meant fro short term use unfortunately due to time pressure sometimes doctors rarely have time with patients and to discuss the best course of treatment which may mean meds or counseling or both. Some time when some people hit that deep dark place with depression , A supportive environment is the only answer to keep them safe and healthly . However i'm glad to say this very rare with most cases .

With most cases after some sort of intervention from doctors or counselors people slowly get better.

Hmmm a Steppenwolf song come to mind.
"God damn God damn the pusher man"

Reminds me of a move I saw some years back called,"Prozac Nation."
By the end it showed a constant flow of people in out in out in out in Fast motion.

Oo the poll results are good..

Lots of people have had some experience in some degree.

Hey Bud, ever heard that Nickelback son,"Rock Star." He sings about...I'll pop my pills from a pez despenser???

Yes lots of people suffer in silence as if it some thing to be a shamed about . Its a silent illness Sad that some people think they need to hide it

I like this guy's thinking. I'm sick to death of break downs, there have been so many, it feels like excuses. If your life is full of shit, what do you do?

Isn't it best to leave one's life?

Oh sweetie you have so much to offer even you posting on here gives some one hope

Oh I was so down Claire! some horrible stuff had gone down and I was crying bucketloads as my main form of dealing with anything - grief counselling would have had much quicker results Im sure - on reflection, I think what was needed was closure prior to finding ways to move on......... the really annoying thing is that once I got away from the pills and got pretty insistent with the doc that I had tried his solution but that there was still something niggling my head, he did all the hormone tests and could hardly contain his humour when I went for the results - his words were " ah yes, I definitely agree, you need HRT" so that was another round of pill taking for another 18 months till I said to hell with the lot of it - Im not taking any more pills for any flippin thing whatsoever........... I have to add here though that the anti depressants did help - even if it was only to suppress the sadnesses for a while........

Im so proud that I got my BA last week and I just know that if I can do it then so can anybody else too

And so you shoudl be Trish.. after all you have been throo too!!

I like that idea...it's a big one...."if you don't like your life, leave it for another..!!"

Prolly easier said than done....

Theres a really amazing video that I have, its called "what the bleep do we know" and it actually goes into how all these pills work in the brain and cause a person to rely on chemical dependences rather than their own cognitive processes - for a while, this over-riding of personal responsibility is totally beneficial to the healing process but a Mair says above (Pillipala) long term use isnt aways a good thing. Counselling has to come into play...........

I saw a documentary about the one I used which was called Seroxat, the documentary was attempting to get it taken off the market cos of side effects of intensifying depressive behaviour - no bloody wonder I felt like solid stone...........

just thought Id add the link for"what the bleep";

Here is my definition of being at your wits end and being willing to jump out a 8th story window!!

This time last week i was sat in a hospital bed.....and that's not the bad bit, nor the fact i couldn't breath without oxygen, my lungs were not working (well the bottom half of each lung wasnt working at all) and when i was admitted i was put next to man who had a chronic snoring problem.

Now imagine this, your physically exhausted, haven't eaten proper food in weeks, your voice is gone and you haven't slept in 24 hours before you crawl into hospital, whereapon you land up next to man who has coughing fits and then promtly snores from 11pm till 7am in the morning!!!!

After 4 days in hospital i had to bed the hospital for sedatives, the doctors refused because i had to be ok for a CT Scan, so i wasn't allowed anything, then i pointed out to the doctor that that wan't until monday and i would have to be admitted to the psych ward the following night if they didn't either give me sedatives or knock me on the head with something heavy!!

After i had my scan they somehow managed to forget to keep reordering the drugs (that are standard on the psych ward!) and i wouldn't get enough to knock me out at all or what i did get wasn't until 3am, when it made it virtually useless to give them to me as everyone made noise from about 6am!!

A few days before i came home, i snuck out from hospital to come the 8 miles home (without the oxygen) to get some noise cancelling headphones......i was that desperate for some sleep!!

In short i went without sleep from the sunday evening one week to the following friday the week after ( some 12 days and managed less than 12 hours sleep in the whole period.

If theres one thing that will really piss me off is another person if i ever have to go back into hospital, is basically first sign of a snore i will just throw them out of the window and accept whatever punishment i'm given.If my room mate in prison snores there ill kill him in his sleep, and ill keep up the murdering spree until i either get a quiet mute to share with or my own cell.

Being ill is one thing, but someone else driving you mad on top when your not well enough to escape is entirely another matter altogether.

Apart from that and planning how to escape the prison i'm normally balanced, but expect me to become unhinged fast if you have blocked nasal passages or problems with your soft pallet.....

Funny, I was packing my bags for that trip this morning. Again, I have reminded myself that I am in control of my thoughts. It is merely a choice to be made.
It has not been an easy trip to this power of self control.

I am gonna be happy instead!!

Under no circumstances whatsoever consume seroxat. Just do a brief look on the net what happens to some people when they take it.

Some have awoken to find they have slaughtered their own family members in a walking zombie state with no memory of doing so.The BBC did a documentary on this years ago and there are far more effective medicines without the dangerous side effects that are well known to the entire medical community.

Anyone on seroxat see your doctor immediately and switch medication, please.

I find that extremely sad too Mair cos the best way out that i ever found was to talk to people, to explain my fears and share my anxieties - life has an amazing way of coming to your rescue at times too - a woman with a cart load more problems than me moved into the house next door at just the right time to show me just how bad stuff could get if I didnt pull my finger out - so....... like a bat out of hell I began to embrace positivity in as many of its aspects as I could discern

Thanks for doing this thread Claire hun

Rob snoring and not being able to sleep is one worst things to put up with
