My feelings of depression and anxiety seem to come and go (i'm mostly anxious), for the last 10 years or so. I've only recently seen a psychologist (doctor referral, 6 free sessions), but I don't feel they helped at all.
I seem to always have things in my life that take the focus (with a negative view), whether it's stress about not enough work, not having friends (and never wanting to try making them), to an overall feeling of thinking there's not much in my future.
I went to the doctor this morning, and was surprised how easily just by asking, he prescribed me medication without some Psychologist/other doctor diagnosis. Is this normal? Do I really need them? I hear you have to be depressed/anxious more days than not, and I can't say I am completely, it's more an overall negative view on life that has been shaped over the last decade.
What made me decide to go to the doc was a fight with my dad (i'm stuck at home still because of poor life decisions), I got so mad I threw my wine (not glass) at his face (not my finest hour, very immature I know....but at the same time my pride wont let me apologise, even if I do I wont mean it?). He threw his usual insults about how it's his house, I should move out (when he knows this is my goal- i'm just not financially able to yet!).
I don't know.....maybe it's just me, my personality....maybe medication wont help. Or maybe some people aren't meant to make it in life...
