Before we start I don't want to self harm. Please remove if this is not allowed!

My freind is on them but I can't talk to her as she is not well right now. I feel sad and numb a lot of the time, when my friend felt like this she started to self harm.

The people that I study and work with don't know that I am on them and it is embarrassing if they found out.

My 50mg dose isn't working so my doctor moved me up to 100mg, they came in the post today.

I am worried that it will make it worse? What if it does and then I want to self harm also?

Just because one is depressed don't mean they will do so. People cope differently so the meds might not work or they might but it probably won't effect your will that you've had not to do it in first place.
Though it's all subjective so who knows.
There are people who are depressed but wouldn't do such acts. Same way not everyone who gets depressed turn to drugs, many do but at the same time many don't. That's more to do with your own personality.

Thanks

I looked up the drug you are taking. It does not cause you to want to self harm yourself. It only improves your mood so you are not depressed. It's common for doctors to increase your dosage.

[artsy_dragon]

Thanks

[Sparkie460]

Did you start taking the new prescription yet

[artsy_dragon]

I started yesterday

[Sparkie460]

I doubt you do but do you feel any improvement

[artsy_dragon]

Not really

[Sparkie460]

It said it could take some time to notice a difference.

[artsy_dragon]

2 weeks:(

[Sparkie460]

Yes I believe that was the time frame. 2 weeks will go by fast. You got this. You seem like a strong woman.

[artsy_dragon]

Sting isn't the word for me haha

[Sparkie460]

You're dealing with a lot of stuff that a lot of people wouldn't be able to handle. I'd say you are strong.

[artsy_dragon]

Thanks again :)

[Sparkie460]

You're welcome. If you ever need to talk or just vent you can dm me.

[Sparkie460]

Thank you for the mho

It’s normal to imagine the worst, it’s self defense. Try to distract yourself with things you enjoy until you see how it actually goes.

[artsy_dragon]

Thanks!

[dustybiker]

You are welcome.

[AngryCarl]

I'm not currently taking it but I've had it before. It neither made me self-harm nor did anything for my depression but I didn't take it for long.

My advice would be not to rush to pre-judgement. This kind of drug affects everyone differently.

[artsy_dragon]

Thanks!

[AngryCarl]

Glad I could help :)

[Shantanu2000]

Hey i am sorry but don’t worry i know its un appropriate but if want to share anything anonymously u can it’s important to share but if you r nớt comfortable then it’s totally ok

[artsy_dragon]

Thanks and I am talking to a guy. He is worried

[Shantanu2000]

That’s nice
I wish you all the best
And take care of your self and i was reading your questions and
PS:- you are not ugly and porn addiction can only be gone after good sex sessions and talk dont force him and talk slowly

[artsy_dragon]

Thank you 🤗

[joeldalton]

Have you considered trying to get off these drugs?

[artsy_dragon]

Why would I do that?

[joeldalton]

Because these psychoactive drugs aren't good for you.

[artsy_dragon]

Well nothing else has worked so far either

[joeldalton]

You sure? What have you tried?

[artsy_dragon]

Therapy, breathing exercises, exercise, loads of different courses. I also have anxiety among many other problems

[joeldalton]

It sounds like you enjoy having mental problems for attention.

[artsy_dragon]

Yes that is what it is, congratulations you solved the past 10 years of my lifes problems! Have a medal 🙄

[oceanAndSeas]

I believe all you need is a friend
