How do you stay motivated when life-saving meds drain you emotionally?

[Anonymous]

And no. Changing the medicine is not an option. It's life treating if I do. I tried alternatives but it backfired. Only the strong medication works, but it's slowly killing me inside. I'm not the happy me I once was.

Instead of seeing the medication as something that "takes from you," it can help to view it as something that buys you time, stability, or possibility. This shift doesn’t erase the frustration, but it can soften the resentment.

I hear you.
It's really tough.

I'm in the same boat.

I wouldn't last long without meds, and I've already died twice from what'll probably eventually do me in, another massive heart attack.

The meds make me feel like crud.

Social contact, though very difficult to do in the first place, usually helps my mood.

I wish you the best!

Thats sounds like a really tough scrap your going through. If its causing you depression you should ask if you can get some kind of antidepressant to dial down the low pits of safdness. For me I turned to faith which can me a higher structure in my life over the choas that's around us maybe you'll find it could help you clueless you already follow a faith.

If you dont have any option... Just go straight. Try to find things you like and you can do to light the rest of your life.

SO many drugs list depression and/or suicidal thoughts as a side effect. Maybe try a DO doc in addition to any MDs?

None of these drugs are safe , and should never be considered for LIFE if you are only around 40 , no one should be reliant on script drugs , all they do is mask , the goal must always be to get off them.

Especially at a younger age , as they will kill you , it's only a matter of when.

Who says you gotta. Everyone deserves a down day or two every now and again. Everyone needs to recharge their batteries every now and again.

Are you just commenting to get points? Because this is a serious matter and I need real advice. Not some horse crap from some young guy sitting behind his laptop or phone, and jerking off on sexual comments he's reading on the internet. Maybe one day illness will hit you and you'll know how it feels. It won't be a joke then...

[Randomguy28]

Hold on. You will beg for death if you go through the time I survive.
