Taking antidepressents for the first time tomorrow morning.

[Cesca1557]

Hi,

Im not really sure why im posting this but Im feeling really unsure about taking medication tomorrow. I have had depression for about 7 years, but at the beginning my mum thought i was too young (i was 12-13), and its only now that I have finally decided that I need something else to help as I cant seem to make myself happy on my own.
I am really hopefull for what the antidepressents will do, but I am also really worried. My father has bipolar, and I am really worried that by taking them, it could trigger it in me. I dont have bipolar my self, but due to the genetic predisposition to it and the increased chance of getting it as my dad has it, im really worried that this might be enough to set it off.
As much as I want to be happy, if it risked me going through what he has gone through and put us through over the years, I wouldnt do it.

Sorry, im not really sure what the point of this was, I think I just wanted to vent a little bit.

Hi k

i know you probably feel like your starting all over again but the main thing is your trying and not giving up, that makes you strong you know. You'll get there I'm sure of it.

I hope your results come back all clear.

Hi nath,
yea today definitley hasnt been a good day but thankyou for caring and asking. I havent been able to shake the empty feelings and numbness. ive also been really tired and havent really left my bed much.
but am hoping tomorrow will be better 🙂

sorry to hear youve been set back again, if you ever need to talk about it im here
yea im not a good sleeper either, which sucks cause a good nights sleep can make such a difference in your mood
thats so good that you have a few more days of work coming up, its good to keep busy
congratulations! sorry if youve mentioned before but what does the CFA course involve?

hi KMTE, fingers crossed you get good results with the chest x-ray and lung test and i hope they can find out what is wrong. let us know what they say when you get them tomorrow! Probably a good idea to stop the meds, as frustrating as it that they have been helping, your physical health is still so important and im sure a different medication will also help just as much.

hi startingnew,
thankyou! definitley looking forward to having a new fresh day tomorrow
yes its great that they do record lectures so you can watch them at home, i only had two lectures scheduled today anyway so i didnt anything by not going in, except for seeing some friends

how was your day been?

[startingnew]

Yes tomorrow is a new day 🙂
try and get there tomorrow and then you can see your friends too 🙂


it was ok, I wrote on my thread which I know your on there now.


Did you get up to much else today?

[Cesca1557]

I dont usually go in on thursday as I dont have any classes scheduled but i might see if any friends will be there and I can always get lunch or study with them. but i have a friends birthday on friday so will be good to go out for some drinks and see lots of different people then at least
yea sorry, i went on to your thread after i posted on this one so i got caught up
no i didnt really do too much appart from watching a few lectures. im not completely up to date on all my pharmacology and pathology lectures and just have two more for anatomy to watch which im not looking forward to as they are hard haha, but will try to get it done tonight

[startingnew]

Tomorrow might be a good catch up day then as you prob wont study on friday and saturday. So maybe plan to catch up on what you have fallen behind in...

I studied abit of anatomy though it wasnt what i expected. It was all the science behind it like all the atoms and molecules. I thought it was actually going to go into the framework of human bodies etc. It didnt though.
