What is wrong with me? I cant stop crying...?
I have felt depressed / 'down' for 6 years, ever since i got into a bad relationship with a 'bad boy' when i was 16. He used to threaten me, push me around, he almost raped me..
Alot of other stuff happened, and it has affected me.
I have no self esteem, i just hate myself and how weak i am.
My old doctors gave me 70mg i think it was, of efexor.
This was the most effective drug i was on.
Now i have a new doctor. I recently tried to kill myself, i self harm and i am literally a mass of scars. I burst out crying at the most inappropriate times and i cant explain why. One second i can be laughing, i feel hyper, i feel happy, then without warning i want to die & i can be harming myself.
My new doctors think i'm not depressed, as i 'seemed happym enough' when i went in. I'm not happy with this diagnosis, i wish i could put a name to what i have, ykno?
She has put me on 10mg of tabelts i cant remember the name but they are doing NOTHING.
You have a demon that is tormenting you at will. Ask Jesus to cleanse your spirit so that the demon will no longer live there. (No I'm not being facetious)
Blessings and Health,

Go to another doctor....Talk about how you feel try not to relie on meds honey!

Go and see a specialist, Gps are not really qualified for assessing your needs.
and try to make your home warm and inviting, play happy music, watch comedy shows and funny movies, and go hang out with some good company.
Good Luck, and don't forget theres always a happy face or two on here, and we're all crackers and love cheering people up :-)

You need to find a different doctor..You said you was a weak person, I don't think so you made it through that relationship ,you survived a mean and abusive relationship, actually that makes you strong, a lot of women don't,sad to say, so give yourself a little credit here..Don't let what happen to you affect the rest of your life..Your young and have a lot ahead of you.It possibly may not be depression it could be your nerves, a lot of times people mistake the two..Why do you want to hurt yourself..Don't let a BOY do this to you..your worth more than that to a lot of people..Go find another doctor or find a support group , anyone as long as you find someone to talk too..I believe your stronger than you give yourself credit for..

Is your doctor really aware of ALL of your symptoms? Self harming in itself should make a doctor consider serious depression. Effexor is the name given to a drug named Venlafaxine. It is a powerful drug and indicates that whoever prescribed it was concerned about your health. Coming off Venlafaxine too quickly has serious side effects. Crying, sadness,anger could be to do with this. I think you should go back to the new doctor and explain all of your symptoms and that the new drugs are doing nothing to help. Failing that, call one of the telephone helplines such as Sane Line. They will give good advice. Hope you get better soon.

Call it coincidence that I just happened to stumble on your question right at this moment.
You need a friend to talk to. Open up and don't afraid to share what's on your mind. I am a friend.
My brother committed suicide 2 weeks after my father passed away because he was afraid to talk and reveal his true feelings.
I was depressed for several months afterward, but have learned to open up. I realized I could never go down the same path my brother took.
No guy is ever worth crying over if he abused you.

sounds bad If medication aint helping(cus it didnt help me) find alternative ways to cope with this feeling think about what makes you happy or something that gets your mind busy but as of right now seek help from the people closest to you JUST REMEMBER WE ALL BEAUTIFUL

you have probably got post traumatic stress dis order.
i personally dont think pills are worth popping.
i would advise self help for you, to understand yourself and how you as an individual cope, try this link first of all.
http://www.9types.com
use the tinternet for other ways in which you can help yourself there must be loads of counselling sites.
communication is the key, talk to a close one, or a counsellor at your local docs clinic. if you do go to the docs again tell her/him exactly how you feel.

I know how you feel I'm dealing with the same thing right now and I'd say the best thing to do is to pray really pray talk to God have a long talk with him and then talk to a close friend work a long with those prays and God will help you though he might not completely dismiss your problem he'll send you some one to help you cope a comforter I hope you find the help you need and make it through this rough patch in your life and remember god is always there for you.

I think that you should tell you're doctor how you're feeling when you are depressed even if you are not depressed at the time that you see her, if you want to you could tell her about that bad relationship you had, it might inlighten her to what you're really going through. Have you told her about the self-harming ?, because if you havn't you might want to because it can help to get all of that off you're chest, and self-harming is a sign of serious depression, she will be able to help you more.
PLEASE, don't try and kill yourself, heaps of people around you love you and would be devistated if you achieved it. Trying to kill yourself is another sign of depression. Maybe when you say you cry at the most inappropriate times it's because something around you at that specific time has triggered bad memories.
If you've only been on the tablets for a short time such as a week or two, they might take a bit longer to kick in. But if you've been taking them for more than a month and they are not working then tell you're doctor and she might be able to up you're dosage or give you something else.
Try and think positive, things will only get better if you get the right help that you need

How long have you been on the meds?its takes 2 weeks for them to take affect,you could be feeling down at the mo because ur bods still getting use to them..........

Get a new doctor and see a guidance counsellor or psychiatrist.
etajra
the best thing to do is just move along, there is a reason some guys are called "bad" boys, look at the good things life, be optomistic, good luck :)

I was diagnosed with "depression" before and then it got so bad they didn't know what it was and just called it a "mood disorder" I've been on a lot of meds and they dont help so you just have to make sure you see a therapist on a regular basis.. it helps.

Get another doctor, quickly. This one obviously doesn't have a clue. If you are seeing a family doctor, get a referral to see a psychiatrist. Your case is too complex for a family doctor.

It may be a hormonal imbalance. When I started taking Birth Control my moods went from happy to just pissed off in a matter of minutes. It was crazy! Your hormones play a big part in your mood and how you feel. That's what anti depressants are for. They target the "feel good" chemical Seratonin and try to balance it out tricking your brain into feeling good. If I were you I would go to a doctor who deals with that kind of stuff. Here's a link you can go to and take a test to see if it's possible if you have a imbalance of some sort...Good luck sweetie.

go to another doc... and get a second opinoin

I think you probably need to see a new doctor and get a referral to a consultant psychiatrist.

First of all, you need a new doctor (psychiatrist). Any doctor who knows your history, who says you don't suffer from depression, is not the right doctor. That said, I don't know where you live, but try calling an agency who offers services on a sliding scale or who accepts your insurance. Some of these agencies might be Catholic Charities, Family Services or Lutheran Family Services. The psychiatrist does NOT take a religious approach to your needs.
It is possible that you are on the wrong medication. I believe it takes six weeks to know whether or not a medication is working. Secondly, it is a known fact, that medication alone is not enough -- you need to be in talk therapy as well. If you go to an agency, they employ a psychiatrist AND a social worker or counselor. This way you can see both professionals back-to-back, in one visit. You might need to see the counselor weekly and the psychiatrist less often.
It is difficult to work on self-esteem issues when you are depressed. I would try and address the medication need first - and after you know it is working, you can talk with your counselor about self esteem issues. Some self esteem issues stem out of childhood experiences. Counselors are trained to recognize the triggers that may have a part in your depression.
Realize that the number of people who are taking medication - and who are depressed, is HUGE.
I think you may have been depressed before you chose the boyfriend who abused you. Sometimes when we aren't healthy, we make unhealthy choices. Once you are feeling better, you won't be attracted to people who are abusive.
There are groups for people who have been abused. Your counselor will let you know about these support systems when you ask him/her when you go for counseling.
There is nothing in this world that is bad enough to warrant suicide. There are answers to every problem. Sometimes it takes intervention on the part of a professional to uncover the causes of our emotions. Please consider what I have said, and take the first step toward getting better. It does get better, I promise.

theres a lot in the press at the minute about bi-polar / manic depression, (sufferers experience severe highs and lows) speak to your GP and insist on being referred to a specialist.
good luck xx

You need to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible - don't wait another day. It sounds like you have some underlying issues that you need resolved. Good luck to you and I sure hope you find the help you need.
