Is it just me but talking to psychiatrist or counsellor or anybody doesn’t help… They just give you pills and everything will be “okay”. I haven’t talked to anyone about my depression and social anxieties in person, only on here as I feel people are more understanding… Since they experienced before. I find its better to type what you feel instead in person. If I tell them about my depression and social anxieties, they bound to say “get over it”, “stop being pessimistic”, “go see the doctor”…etc.*sigh* if only…. If only…. I have one wish…. Maybe life would be easier. …. I’ll probably be happier. ..

Yeah I agree and have been through all that. Where you have really deep depression and bad social anxieties but other people dont understand you and they just want to tell you to snap out of it or take this pill or something but the problems are more deeper then just what a pill can fix.
on the other hand I have found medications can someimes help so I am not against them but I undersand that often others dont undersand what you are going through > but this forum can come in handy. If you ever want to chat in provate buy email jrock7766@hushmail.com
Damn. See this is what I hate about doctors. They make you feel like you’re getting the same set of lines they told the person that just left their session before you entered. First off. You’re not sick. You’re a human being having a difficult human experience. You’re a natural being, reflecting unhappiness because that’s what human beings do when they want more to life. Depression and anxiety are tools to let you know how to help yourself. Some people were born with a set of power tools, but he rest of us are manual. You may have gotten the power tools of emotions and need to learn to use it as a tool instead of running from it because it’s plugged in and going wild. If you feel like writing helps, which for me it does a lot, blog on here. Or elsewhere or in a journal if you really don’t want anyone to respond. I’m not big on the “don’t be suicidal” and “just be positive” one liners. So tired and so old. Some people know when it’s time to go. The rest of us “think” about it. If you’re still thinking about it, you may be better off working on yourself than working a suicide plot.
I know you didn’t mention suicide but it’s just the nature of the site. I guess what I mean to say is that if you’re unhappy, you are the gate keeper to the outside world that may hold much happiness for you. It’s a journey, my darling.
I know exactly how you feel. An hour ago I just got discharged from my second psychologist (10 years of therapy) and I feel even she doesn’t understand me. I’m sure I not only have a psychological problem but also an intellectual one but she’ll never stop to consider it. Yet each time I leave the house somebody calls me a moron or something to that effect, I can’t remember anything from our sessions, I struggle with communication, and I’ve messed up and pissed off everybody in each job that I’ve been in. I appreciate everything she’s done but I’m afraid I can’t be saved. She says my ideas are too fixed I’m back on this merry go round with the medication. Few understand until they go through it themselves.
Unfortunately, there are people that have more control over your life than you think. They’ve poisoned the food, water and air. “Smarts” can be manipulated nowadays. Cut out aspartame, take some iodine, and buy the best water purification system you can. All the metals, chemicals and contaminants in water especially are affecting the population in many unprecedented ways.
I have been seeing a counsellor for 6 months, she was a nice woman but talking to her didn’t help; in fact, I think it has made me feel worse. For few weeks I had hope and the next 5 months that followed were a disaster. I’m seeing a psychiatrist next week after months of trying to get in. I don’t think it will help though, judging from what people on this site (and few that I know in person) are saying.
Life would be easier if people weren’t so self-centred. But the mankind is only becoming worse in that aspect, so I’m sorry my friend but the outlook on that one isn’t too good.
