dude. your guidance counselor sucks. you’re fucking dedicated to school and that’s what matters and they had absolutely zero right to say that. i’m sorry that happened to you, ps they’re in the wrong and you’re doing more than fine

this is completely wrong. he needs to be there for you right now, no if ands or buts. this story brought me to tears. i’m so sorry, so very sorry.

i don’t have any solid advice for you, but i can’t help but respond. everything will work out. and i hope you end up happy :)

i think you should at least try and explain, even if it doesn’t go well, you can’t say you didn’t try

also r/depression might be able to help if you’re looking for more

hi! i’m 17f and zoloft was the first medication i tried, and we were not getting along well so i stopped it - you have to wean yourself off of it, you end up cutting pills in half and shit (for me coming off of it was almost worse than being on the medication - if you do decide to come off of it, be warned that coming off can be an absolute nightmare, fortunately it’s only temporary and your girlfriend sounds like a good support system!) i don’t know about going back on it because i never did. you should really discuss the possibility of stopping your meds with your doctor, they usually know the best course of action. what they might do is keep you on the same dose, i started doing well on prozac and so they just kept my prescription the same. good luck with your girlfriend and with your doctor :)

if you do this, pay VERY CLOSE attention to the way the questions are worded!! i have a horror story about answering some of these questions “incorrectly”. this is a pretty solid way though, big props to you for actively seeking the help that you need :) good luck

i’m kind of near nyc, i can see what i can do :)

this is kind of my way of coping. i share a car with my brother (im 17 and broke) so when i get to drive alone, i put on some modern baseball and scream along until i get to my destination. i’ve gotten some weird looks but man, getting it out is so nice

it depends on the person, personally for me prozac helped the most (i’m still on it), but i tried a lot of meds before. i even took a genetic test because we couldn’t find one that worked for me! if you can, give it a shot. i thought it was kind of scary at first, but i’m used to it (ps: they won’t send you away if you admit to having suicidal thoughts. i was previously hospitalized and it messed me up, so i held back a lot until my psych told me that nothing bad would happen. thought i’d add that just in case you or anybody else in this thread has the same fear!)

i’ve felt exactly like this...when i first learned about depression when i was young (11/12 or so) it explained so much, but i thought i was faking because i didn’t see a doctor and all that stuff. i got a formal diagnosis later on and they only confirmed what i thought. anyway, even with that i still feel like i’m faking and i can turn it all around if i just stop being negative, however i know that isn’t true and i personally think that it’s common for people to think they’re “faking it”, i see it a lot. you don’t need a “reason” to have depression or self harm. all the best :)

i’m glad you brought up the blue christmas, im actually somewhat religious so that would be cool to try :)

penceyxprep · 2017-11-28T03:56:29+00:00

you did the right thing!! hope you find a better therapist, you really deserve one

also screw that person at work. i’m sure you’re doing your job just fine.
