I've been a little sad and irritated lately and I don't know why. I'm also taking it out on my bf which isn't cool. But they've already increased my antidepressants by double and it doesn't seem to be helping much. I don't know what my other options are.

I guess I'm frustrated cuz my health has been in the dumps lately and I have a lot of classes and a lot of work to do for them. I'm also running on a very little bit of sleep. Help me! I'm starting to think about ways that I would die if I were to take my life and that's a scarry way to think. :sad:
 
aww sweety! I'm sorry stuff is like this for you :(

Unfortunately school is a bunch of work that shits on our lives and takes a huge toll. How many classes/credits are you taking?

Try and get naps as often as you can. It may also help to write out a detailed schedule of what you have to do each morning and edit it each night. That way everything will be off your mind when you go to sleep and you can know exactly what you have to do when you wake up. I usually try to cram everything in my head and its just not physically possible.

School can get you down but in the end you feel GREAT when the semester is over. Try and relax a little bit. You are more important than your school work or anything else, so take a little time and get some more sleep.

Feel better hun
 
Shit Maggie.

All I can say is that you're going to be ok

#1) Ride out the depression. It's good that you're realizing what's going on inside is depression and you're not gonna feel like that forever. Feel what you have to feel and ride it out.

#2) If you get the "feel like killing yourself" wave or you feel a severe low, call somebody. Promise me you'll call somebody. You don't have to talk about it but connecting with somebody helps. It gets you out of your head. Even if it's going out for some coffee or whatever.

That's all I can think of right now 'cause my boss freakin' interrupted me but hang in there, you'll be aight.
 
BC and Jane kinda said it all. I can only repeat it. Ride it out, keep your chin up. If you're on meds perhaps you may need a change in prescriptions. Talk to the doc. This might be a side effect or your body's way of reacting to it. Hang in there. Sorry you're going through this... :sad:
 
Buk up lil sojah grrl....life is cyclic. Sometimes you riding away and all is good and you can see for miles, other times your face down in the mud and you cant see shit.

Schools tuff but it'll be over eventually. If you apply yourself you will do well and that will ad to your selfesteem, and overall self-worth. The only other thing I can think of thats yet to be mentioned, is diet. Eat well, don't drink too muck coffee tea, or soda drinks. Caffine has a weird side affect with quite a few anti-depressants. Eat regualrly and eat a consistent amount. Try to avoid mfg'd foods and sticka s best you can with fruit veggies etc....good luck and study hard.;)
 
I'm taking 18 credits and 6 classes. They're just finishing out my gen. eds, but the 100 level classes are giving us the workload of a 300 or 400 level class. It's so hard to keep my head above water.



I do talk to people here. My roomate is really good at noticing when I'm not doing so great and asking me what's wrong and she won't take, oh, I'm just tired for an answer. So that's good I guess. I might just be a bit homesick too. I can't wait for spring break because then I get to sleep in my own bed and I get to see my family and my puppies and I get to eat real food. No more of this school shit. It's worse than McDonalds. (Health wise anyway.)

Thanks for your concern everyone.
