Feeling quite good

Hi all 2017 has been a long hard year for me with trying for a baby and not getting pregnant and going into a major depression and very suicidal that i even attempted it. Started going to psychologist with no help but then she told me that i needed anti depressants so i tried them. At first it was hard for the 1st week and half i just felt sick but now i am starting to actually feel good and starting to feel like myself again. I know i need to still go to psychologist and deal with my issues but now i can actually think

@Cookie42 That is good news.

Meds can take the edge off extreme feelings and help us keep perspective so we can get on with life.

Take care.

Hi @Cookie42! 🙂

It is wonderful to hear that you are starting to feel like yourself again and that you can think more clearly than earlier this year. @Appleblossom is right, sometimes medications can help us to stabilise a bit so that we can move forward with our life. It is good that you realise that you still need others supports too, like a psychologist, to help you deal with your struggles. I think an array of supports in important for recovery.

 

Kindest,
