Im worried my depression won't be treatable?

[Anonymous]

I've been feeling more depressed more frequently. It feels its getting worse. I take anxiety/depression meds already but mainly for anxiety and still feel bad frequently and I'm terrified that I won't be able to help it. I'm terrified that I'll feel this way forever until I die.

I have pretty bad depression too. Things that help are hanging out with good friend groups, consistent therapy not just medications, getting on top of your school even if you have to block people out, if you are on top of your school allow yourself time to go outside, if ur Christian pray about it and ask God to help you. I'm sure there are other ways to help like exercise, sleep, getting on a consistent sleep schedule like same time to sleep same time awake, try to eat well if yo can, meditation like breathing exercises and stretching, and a bunch of other things I'm sure you can find online outside of asking random people. Feel free to follow me and text me.

I will always recommend therapy if you have access to it. It kind of changed my life. Sure medication can help alleviate symptoms of various mental illnesses but they're no cure. We have to make positive changes in our lives and embrace healthy positive mindsets.

I don't know if it helps you any but I have been depressed as far back as I can remember. Don't confuse depression for sadness or discontentment. I live an awesome life and am still depressed. Worst case scenario if you stay depressed, you get used to it and still find ways to enjoy life.

The meds are the problem. Exercise. Talk to God. Listen to him. Make better life decisions and reinforce social connections.

It's definitely treatable
