I'm Depressed and I Don't want to be?

[Anonymous]

I'm depressed I feel worthless and like a piece of sh*t. I don't know what to do about it I'm on medication... so why am I feeling like this. I don't see myself having good future, I feel ugly and fat and not good enough for anyone and I feel like my boyfriend will eventually leave me cause he is gonna get sick of my b. s.

you need to work on you
figure out who you are, what you want in life
read some self help books about relationships, I would recommend beyond boundaries and safe people
first off you are a good enough person, I say this because I am religious, and I believe God created you, you are his child, and that you are loved by him, he died for your sins, and you are not ugly and you are beautiful
but you have to tell yourself this.
You have to not put all your trust and hope and everything in your boyfriend, I recommend you put your hope and trust in God and knowing what love is. If you know what love truly is, and you truly love your boyfriend and then you should have no fear because... your true love is hard to find. Your boyfriend who loves you should know this

Just because one medication doesn't seem to be working for you doesn't mean that others won't, and these days there are _tons_ of different drugs available. Talk to your doctor.

OK if you're om antidepressants I would suggest to get off that fast. They usually make things 10x worse trust me. The only thing you can do is make yourself happy don't rely on other people. You will never be happy unless you decide one day that you want to be happy. At that point don't take anyone's shit and just be yourself and never let people bring you down.

is citalopram bad?

[DJohnny]

I don't know about specific ones but I know that usually antidepressants make things worse especially if you're young. They usually work better on old people for some odd reason. I would try to see how I feel if I stop taking them. And try to just focus on yourself to better yourself.

okay thankyou

No problem and honestly try and find something that makes you feel better and happy. When I get down or start thinking to much I just go out and take a hike or see nature. It usually helps me a lot the fresh air and exercise does wonders to you.

This guy's advice is outright dangerous. Ignore him.

@JenSCDC Unless you've ever taken these stupid antidepressants as a teen then you don't know what you're talking about. I have and it made it far worse off for me and I've met others as well.

Did you try every single antidepressant out there? I'd be willing to be you didn't. Just because some antidepressants didn't work for you doesn't mean the no antidepressant will work for anyone.
