My gp tried putting me on medication that made me worse or more aggressive, I can't talk to my family as they try to tell me that it is all in my head or that i don't have it so it is difficult, I barely even talk to my friends cause they turned their backs on me when i still need them.

Hi i am 22 years old, i have suffered with depression since i was 14 but didnt go the doctors till i was 18,  i started to develop the symptoms and not wanting to face the day, not eating much and just sleeping all the time, by anger went higher than normal,   when i was in a really down  in my journey, 2 years ago  my thoughts started to get more erratic, of walking through manchester city centre and wanting to jump in front of the trams, this really freaked me out, when i first got diagnosed with depression i started to have CBT Therapy as i refused medication cbt helped for a short  period of time and i was discharged, about a month and abit later i got very bad for myself and started to self harm last year quite frequently and again i got suicidal thoughts, i then started to become very very low and this was just an awful time for me, i started to push ym friends and family away and would just stay in my room, i didnt even eat for three days all the time i just slept and when i woke up wishing i was dead i went back the doctors and then i said i need medication i started on a dose of citraplam 20mg this started to give me side effects for a little while and then i felt a light brighter but then all of a sudden it stopped working i had to go back the docs and higher my dose  i have been the 30mg dose for a year and just recently cut 10mg so im back on 20mg, but i am slipping down and really need go the doctors again, im thinking of going back therapy. i still dont understand why i have to feel like this and its awful but i just wanna say to people you are not alone and we can get through this.

Much Love and Hugs

Hey hun, i totally understand wer u are coming from, i suffer from depression but try my best to hide it as, lie you, if i say anything to my family i'm told to get over it and move on, i only hav one sis and my mam and they are very close and do everything together without even asking me to join them, i have been trrough a lot sincei was a kid and lost my baby girl 4 yrs ago and obviously the depression got worse and couldnt talk to anyone, until i a friend gave me the name of a lovely lady counsellor to talk too, it took me weeks to finally call her and even wen i first met her i didn really open up and she didn push me, i eventually got to really like and trust her so start opening up a bit more every time i met her. I have really grown to love this lady like a mother figure, i can tell her anything and she just listens and gives me any advice she can. Finally opening up to someone was the best move i ever made, it feels good knowing i dont have to keep all these secrets and hurt hidden inside, that i hav someone to share my problems with, knowing she wont tell anyone else or judge me. Try find someone to talk to, if you dont feel comfortable with the person, well that isnt the right person so move on to another person, worth a try hun. and i will be here for you if you ever need to just chat or moan or just gossiphaha xxx
