Hey, I’m new here so hopefully this all falls within the guidelines :’)
(and do let me know if it doesn’t) I’ll try my best to keep this short
so as to not overwhelm anyone with too many words. I’ve had a
long-standing battle with severe MDD, of which different medications has
barely touched alongside psychotherapy and other supports like outreach
services, in-patient, youth residential recovery programs, so on and so
forth. I’m still in such an incredibly dark space, and in a constant
state of distress, which sucks because I recognise the value of the
psychological support and can intellectually pick my way through every
one of my thoughts, but can’t ever manage to ease the great pain that
drives me to pursue some, uh, not-so-safe decisions, to put it lightly.
Anyways, a psychiatrist I saw earlier this week wants to explore some of
the more modern treatments in the hopes it allows me to respond better
to all the psychosocial/therapeutic supports I have. I guess I’m a bit
afraid, both of the unknowns and difficulties making such big decisions
along with the deep seated hopelessness that has no faith in anything
helping. I’ve done so much research and consulted my psychologist, gp,
and a friend who’s been through some of these treatments, but I don’t
know what to take into consideration, what to beware of, if this is even
worth pursuing. I hope somebody can help
