elp you need(ed)?


I feel underestimated right now... mymother said before that she didn't want me on anything, she was so adamant about it before that she told me to tell the people working at my school (who were prying me with nerve pills) to take it themselves... she also said she would get on the phone and tell them to "take their medication and shove it up their ass". I was glas of it then... but now my attitude tob substances, particularly to antidepressants and stimulants, has changed...


One guy said, after I was prescribed antidepressants, that I was normal; I didn't need to be medicated, it would make me spacey and fel like I was walking on air.


Now I really needed the anti-d's, though. I was flattered that he found me normal, but I knew I needed the antidepressants! Jsut because you behave well, or normal, doesn't mean you're in any less pain than someone who's rolling on the ground and banging their head. On the contrary, I might have been in more pain, because I had social anxiety- and as if that and the probable ADD wasn't enough, the social anxiety made me shy to do the hyper stuff I craved for so long, that I NEEDED to do for so long but I was too shy/embarrassed/socially anxious to do. Hence the MAJOR depression.


I feel a bit resentful right now.

Had an on / off thing with drugs for twenty years. Mainly anti'ds but lately tranquillizers and sleeping tablets. I've never really accepted that the lack of drugs is the problem. Always put it down to things in my life-girlfriends, work , unemployment, hitting 40, and so on. Recently got xtra d/X 'generallized anxiety disorder' and given Lorazepam. BUT! the boat's falling apart and sinking, got made redundant, no girlfiend, winter's coming, the river's gonna flood and all the lands gonna disappear... wouldn't anyone feel a little anxious? Maybe if u had people who you felt comfortable with, who would encourage u to get things done...

Sorry ana54, on a cellfone and got to do it in parts...If u had good friends to go out with, would that lessen s.a.disorder? But good friends on their own, would atleast make depression more manageable...And crazy Hyper stuff is always good4brain health
