Hardik G Asked: Should I take anti – depressants for all this….?
just a story cut short so that can get proper view of the Situation.
even though its short , its still long ar per yahoo, So please read Only if u have patience and time
Now I have been suffering from some short of depression due to failures in personal Life and Career. I m 27 year old sort of Introvert kind of guy from Mumbai, India.
1) I was sexually abused for 6 months when i was 7 years old, again for 1 year when i was 12 years old and then again for 2 years when i was 14-15.
2) I was bullied physically by my school mate who used to hit my ears till it turn red when i was 15. he sat behind me.
3) I was verbally abused and ragged and picked on when i was in the first 2 years of college. Next 2 years i didn't go to college. Last year i flunked in college Cleared next year
4) i do have a small circle of friends who used to pick on me but stopped when i told them how i felt
5) Have been trying for MBA since last 2 years but can't get through due to low scores and bad public speaking
6) never had a girlfriend as many could make out .
Now all the above incidents has taken a toll on my mental level and i have been suffering depression since last 4 months. Its not serious because i live in family of 7 people, having loving cousins who love me back equally. I do meet occasionally on weekends my friends. chill out.Staying in india does guarantee social life. But most of the time i feel somewhat depressed. even my friends say so
Now Some have recommended that I see a Psychiatrist. But i fear he will recommend some anti-depressant. And I m scared of those because i believe i will get addicted to it for life and it also has side effects.
So just wanted some advice from u guys as to what should i do to get out of my miserable and pitiable life? I just dint want to end it
Should I turn to anti-depressant? or are there any better solutions
PLease help This Miserable Creature.
Please recommend how to change those negative things? Is this Bipolar disorder? should i take anti-depressant?
Answers:
Naawwwwwwww! I'm sooo sorry! How were you abused And bullied, I think you should take Anti-depressant but talk to your docter first! I m sorry so much!! At least you have people who love and care for you and you should never feel like you don't have anybody! People do care !! Stay strong <3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder you feel depressed you've had so much go on in your life. Please go see the psychiatrist, you maybe prescribed anti-depressants or be referred for councilling but they can help you & you will feel better for taking a step to get help. Depressed/bi-polar no-one here can tell you what's happening inside your head but a psychiatrist can and will offer the help you need. Find someone you trust to go with you if you need support and tell the psychiatrist you are worried about becoming addicted – some anti depressants are not addictive drugs but I'm sure he/she will be able to reassure you.
Good luck
