Hello Maricruz, Glad and happy for you that you are starting to feel some better. I'm happy that your family is involved. Please keep doing what the doctor says,okay? And, take care!! Love, Ship

Maricruz, I'm glad to hear you feel somewhat better and that you went to the doctor and opened up with him about what's going on to you. I'm also happy to hear your family is involved and tries to help you.

Godd for you, Maricruz! It takes courage to admit we need help. I hope things improve for you from here. keep us updated? :hug

Maricruz, I am glad you are seeking help. I hope everything works out and you start feeling well all the time. I am glad your family is so supportive, as well. Best of luck to you and keep us posted, GinaP :cool:

Hi Maricruz I'm glad to hear that you are getting better and you are managing to get help. I can relate to how you have been feeling because I've had Depression and I'am prone to terrible anxiety, luckily it has gone now but I still do sometimes get bout's of anxiety returning. I tend to find that it causes a lot of nervous exhaustion making me exceedingly tired and depressed. I'm looking forward now and I find the best thing to do is remain positive being happy as much as possible as well as being around friends and family.

:hug to you Maricruz. I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago and wondering how you were doing. I'm sure your friends and family want whatever they think is best for you as they love you. It is best to follow your doctor's instructions and talk to your doctor if you are having difficulty. With a lot of meds, they must be taken consistently and for awhile before you can tell if they are working properly. Hope you are able to stop in more frequently. How are things going at work? Hang in there.

Maricruz, it's nice that you dropped by and let us know how you are doing. I'm sure your friends and family have you well-being at heart. However, as GG said, it is better to follow your doctor's instructions: talk to him (or her) if you are having difficulty. Consider that meds may take a while before you can tell they're working.

Hey Maricruz! Nice to see you back! You got your family and friends and us here! And your post it is just so great! Full of smilies and it made me smile! Love it!

Hello Mari, Please keep taking those meds. Please. And listen to the doctor. Love, Ship

Maricruz, I agree with everyone above - it IS lovely to hear from you again, and you really should take the pills the doctor has prescribed, even if you have to take them in sceret. A thought occurs to me - has he given you tranquilisers (like valium) or anti-depressants (like Prozac or Amitriptyline). If it is the former, it could be that your family is worried about the physical effects the tablets are having on you (dopeyness, or hallucinations, etc) If this is the case, you should go back to your doctor and tell him you want to try a different pill, as these ones don't suit you. There are many different types of drugs for depression - one of them will suit you. It always makes me laugh when people say depression is 'all in your head'! Of course it is! That's the trouble! It is a chemical imbalance that often needs chemicals (plus other therapies) to sort it out. It is a genuine illness that needs understanding and professional help. The irony is, that when we are depressed, it is very difficult to make our needs felt or stand up for ourselves. Maricruz, we are always here to listen (and you can PM or email certainly any of the mods and admin, if you'd rather talk in private. Some of us have personal experience of depression and would be only glad to help!) Meanwhile, try and see your doctor on your own and discuss your feelings. :hug :hug :hug to keep you going!

Maricruz, I have no idea what you have been diagnosed with, but I doubt that avoiding scary movies will help. If you family and friends are interfering with your medication, this is hardly a reason to stop. But if you feel the medications are not working, then your should talk to your doctor about your symptoms while you are on them. You may need an adjustment or new medications. However, don't just stop taking them. It is really hard to give you the best advice since we don't really know you or your situation. I hope all works out for you, Best wishes, GinaP :cool:

Ha, if only we could choose whom to fall for... However, I'm glad to hear that in spite of some bad days, you are ok and optimistic for now. Don't feel sorry for letting others interfere with your life and health. I think it is hard to avoid other people's interference with our life, especially from people we love.
