back into depression

[ineedjesus212121]

hi,

i've had depression diagnosed since 2005 - but I know I've had depression since 2001, but didn't get help until a major crisis in 2005. I've been on meds since then and i was in counseling until 2008. i have been feeling worse depression and i dont know if i need meds change or counseling again. the same bad thoughts about my life are coming back and its hard for me to have any motivation or even get out of bed in the morning. the symptoms i had back in 2005 are starting to creep back in and i dont' want to go back to where i was in crisis in 2005 because that was not fun being forced to see a counselor. so i dont go into crisis like i did back then should i see the doctor or a counselor? i dont want to feel this way and i try to feel good like friends tell me but it just doesnt work i feel like crap nearly all the time and i can barel get out of bed anymore. it takes me sometimes 3-4 hours to get out of bed because of depression. do i see doctor or counselor to get me less depressed

I'm sorry you are so depressed. If I were you I'd see a psychiatrist and a counselor. I, too, have a real hard time getting out of bed.

Its good that you are recognising the signs that you need help. Please see your doctor - he or she will be able to help you decide the best way to treat this.
Praying for you.

but my doctor will just be upset since he got the medicine working just right several years ago... he could feel really bad that it's not working anymore

Doctors realize that these medicines need adjustment and change over time. He will not be upset with you updating him on what's happening.

Sometimes the reason the medications do not work is the same reason that an alcoholic or drug addict needs more of the drug over time. Your body needs more to get the same result, or sometimes if the dose is as high as it can get try a different medicine. Doctors know this. He will not be upset.

i contact the counselor i had way back when and we have been playing phone tag. why can't anything just happen fast? why does it have to take forever and ever to get something done for me? i will see what he says when i see him about a doctor

I'm praying for you.
