Started with a new psychiatrist recently. When I told her I couldn’t stop thinking about killing myself she immediately started me on anti-psychotics. I’ve never been on them before, and I have to say I do feel a little better. And I couldn’t get what I needed for my plan anyway, so the plan is on hold. For now. We’ll see how long this medicine works.

Glad you are feeling better 🙂
that’s nice. i’m considering medication, i thought it was just a quick fix, a bandaid solution sort of thing but i’m thinking now that i don’t really have any other options and if it makes you feel better, that’s a positive thing, right?
I’ve been on medication for fifteen years, and been depressed for twenty years. For some people, depression is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. It’s just like thyroid disease: your body doesn’t produce what it needs to be healthy, so you have to replace what your body doesn’t produce with medication. Of course then you have to go through the process of finding the right med or combination of meds. And sometimes they stop working and you have to start all over again. It’s a hard slog.
