Therapists can prescribe medicine like anti-depressents if they feel you need it. Also sorry about your grandma.
I am sorry to hear about the depression. I have had mild-moderate cases myself and they suck. I really think a good therapist would help, as a start. (Might take a few to find the "right" fit). I always resort to meds as the last resort. The other thing I have found is for me to stay busy. Physically or mentally. Surfing, yoga, painting (even though I paint like a 2nd grader. LOL) helps. Good luck and I'm sending you positive thoughts.
All that speed your taking leads to crashing depression.. I guess you dont want to hear the truth though..
grieving about someone long gone over the years, is normal.. Crushing depression isnt .. Instead of seeking drugs / Aka anti depressants, do less drugs. Find activities your Grandma would like to have seen you do. Speak to a counselor, reduce your intake of drugs and intoxicants, sleep, exercise, eat healthy food, drink fruit juices..
thanks so much...and yeah i surf sometimes but i skimboard...been doing that for years and i love it...gets my mind straight sometime...and again thanks ffor the comment!
Therapists cannot prescribe drugs unless they are MDs. That advice is bullshit. they don't even know what meds do.I go to a shrink and threrapist and they are even in the same office, and when I talk to the therapist about my antidepressants she shrugs - she doesn't know fucking shit about them. You should take other peoples advice here for the similar bogus examples. You take speed? You take it because it makes you not depressed. It's called self medicating. It's doubtful you will find any antidepressants as effective as speed - I am guessing that means meth, since you can't get pharma any longer like when I was young like bennys and dexys. Although Adderal is a combination of short and long acting dextroamps so they are dexys. You can see a shrink whether your Mom pays for it or not. If you have the money. I think you only have to be 16, though maybe 18 to get prescribed drugs for your ills. At any rate shrinks have a huge assortment of drugs for treating depression. And depression often has to do with an unusually low amount of brain monoamines (dopamine, serotonin, noradrenalin). Doctors do prescribe drugs which do amp the dopamine levels - and there are alot of them. They might make you not feel like doing speed. They would also increase your concentration. Wait till you can see a shrink. Be honest with them. They don't judge. I was never seen as a druggy even though I told them I was a stoner. Parents suck.
I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I was very close to my grandma too. She has alzeheimers and ever since she moved to a nursing home, I've never been the same. She doesn't even remember me. I was so close to her. I suffer from depression and it's horrible But it will get better, I promise. It will take time. The time between is going to be rough. I would self medicate too. I took many pills and other drugs just to be numb to it all.... i know what you're going through and if you'd like to talk to me about it, i would be more than welcome =)
if you go to a therapist, the therapist will probably back you up in saying that you are depressed seeing the therapist could help, but you could probably get meds instead if you don't want therapy you might want to check out "Curing Depression Naturally with Chinese Medicine" www.bluepoppy.com hope that things get better soon!
