but you see the thing was, i went to the doctor to see if i had A.D.D and then i just snapped, im tired of holding this mask, this facade for something that was never really there.

I don't know what to do.

I don't take them anymore, but when I was on them, they made me feel a little better, but one of the side effects of Prozac is that it may actually increase thoughts of suicide, which is what it did for me.

If they put you on any meds, I hope they don't prescribe Prozac. It just makes things worse...

I am currently on Prozac. I had thoughts of suicide before, but they were when I stopped taking it, and at some pretty traumatic points in life. As I said before, just be careful with what you are prescribed (if you are), and if you feel anything negative as a result, consult with your psychiatrist ASAP. Wee're here if you have anything you don't feel comfortable talking about IRL. I'm still trying to get out of my biggest lows, so I can relate on some things.

What ive learned is that you have to do stuff to keep you mind focused. Depression hurts everywhere physically and mentally its also causes others stuff like lack of interest and not wanting to interact with others. You have to get your mind out of that state and try to consume your time doing stuff. It could be anything from just taking a small walk everyday to lifting weights. Taking medication helps with symptoms but it does not cure depression. I went through therapy after i lost my dad to cancer and pretty much just kept myself isolated for many months. I didnt want to talk to anybody and didnt want to go out. I eventually saw a doctor and got on medication and started making myself do stuff but it was hard. I found that making a list of to do's in the morning sure helped me out alot. Just make sure to keep seeing your doctor and tell him everything even if you think it sounds stupid. Find someone you can talk to without holding back. Even if it means someone on online. Just don't give to much info like your address and what not. Good luck buddy you can do it.

That is the best advice I can think of, I used to be very depressed when I entered high school, and once comtemplated suicide but a bit later I droppped out and moved to mexico with my dad and brothers and I guess my depression went away since I was actually happy being there, so being around loved ones could help, that is all v__v

I don't know what I am but I can be very tired, I'm like you in the fact that I rarely communicate with my family, even less now I'm living with my stepmum. But I use my music to help me get through things, just lay there listening to it when I'm worked up and maybe....steel a nap. But yeh as hellgiver said, keep those you trust and love close. And wee are here too :3 Come to think of it...i don't really talk unless I'm talked to O.O
