I didn't know where else to put this, so i thought here would work. For some reason, lately i have been having thoughts of hurting myself, but am too afraid to tell anyone. I can't stand being around people and have the worst attitude. I told my mom its because she won't let me take my depression meds anymore, but she doesn't believe me. Even before i didn't feel like this before i started taking the pills. just now that i stopped i do. Whats wrong with me?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello.
Why doesn't your mother want you to take your medication? Did your doctor tell you to stop taking them?

What antidepressant were you on, did it work, and how long have you been off them? Has your mom given you a reason why she doesn't want you to go back on them? Depression can be a pretty savage disease... there's nothing wrong with you as a person for not wanting to be around people, having a bad attitude and having self harm thought processes. All of those are mere symptoms of depression and don't reflect on who you are as a individual brat. Things will improve, give them time... but continue to seek out help (family, friends, professional councelling/MD) and personal contact.

I strongly advice you to goto a counseller, and keep taking your medication. I believe there are also options of getting counselling,or medicines anonymously if you ask for it. Your mom is silly to believe that you don't have a problem, sometimes when people look great from the outside they can be a mental wreck from the inside, and understanding is hard to find. Therefore try to call a specialist who you can give confidential information, they can help you and send you to a another specialist who can help you and provide you with the medicine and professional counselling you need.

Call the doctor who prescribed the medications and make an appointment for you and your mom to go to it. If your mom won't go, then try to go without her. If you need to, go to the emergency room and tell them you want to hurt yourself. Don't isolate. You need someone to talk to about your problem.

Might depend on the medication, too. Some have have side effects, both in use and in sudden disuse. Did you go off the meds suddenly? Some have adverse effects if you don't gradually decrease the dose before stopping it.

Wow, I just wanted to tell you that alot of people battle depression and there is alot of help out there so do not feel that you are alone. In my family, my brother, both sisters and I battled depression and did not even tell each other until a few years ago. For myself, I was really bad for not taking care of myself and wanting to harm myself, thank God that He kept me going because now things are better. I will pray for you lonelypilgrim

Who knows but my dad is the same way. He's pretty much against medication for any chronic mental condition. I have ADHD and depression and he was always against my taking medication for ADHD. I recently started medication for depression and he hasn't said much about it even though I am certain he knows about it. Anyway, if you can't take medication, maybe your mom will let you go to counselling?

I know what you are going through. You should talk to someone. Either go to the local hospital or call the doctor who prescribed the medication and talk to them. Get help. Don't hesitate. People can help you. If you need to talk to someone now, you can call this number:
1-800-784-2433
This number is to the National Hopeline Network
They are professional counselors. I hope that this helped.
I will pray for you. God Bless You!

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past
brat2631, here is my prayer for you, from the model prayer of Jabez.
Oh, Father and giver of every good and perfect gift, expand this young woman's territories, enlarge her coasts: Expand her network of professionals and her band of loving family and friends. Lead into her life those whose influence will lead her to the best help. May your hand be on her and with her, God. Soothe her as you lead her on a journey of emotional healing. Point the right way, and convince her that she's on the path you've chosen. Keep evil from her, and keep her from evil, holy God, so she's not hurt and so she doesn't hurt others. Allow her to see that harming herself calls you a liar and disparages the incredible sacrifice of the son of God. Convince her, God, that mourning lasts the night, but the dawn brings joy and laughter. As a cheerful heart does good like a medicine, so a downcast spirit destroys her very bones. If it's right for her to be treated with medications and/or to seek psychological therapy, lead her to those who will nurture and help, and not harm. Now send your warrior angels to gird her and fight against this ugly enemy, an enemy that clings: we know that only your power can and will peel the enemy's minions from her soul & fling them straight into the pit. Send your ministering angels, compassionate Father, to wash and gently dry her feet; to cool her forehead; to hold her hand; to lift her heart before you for cleansing and healing. Then hold her tight, and rock her gently against the very bosom of God. In Christ's name, for the glory of God, Amen.

I'd advise you to get back on your medication. Have you talked to your mom & let her know what it's doing to you since you've been off of your medication? I'll be praying for you also.

I decided to take myself off my anti-depressants and now, I'm kinda regretting it. I find myself praying for death every single night. Crying uncontrollably. It's such a vicious cycle. Drowned myself in the book "Prozac Nation". There seem to be no way out...

I don't know too much about ADHD, but do know people that have it, and they have gotten much help with it. No one should have to suffer through this without help available. I pray you get some decent counseling, and some meds that will help you through this. It is possible to get relief, so don't despair. Pray your parents realize how much you need this.

When I was 17 I tried to kill myself it landed me in a psyc ward. I was prescribed zoloft which made me extremely tired and told to see a therapist 1 a week. after rescheduling three times because of the therapist I took it upon myself to stop taking the drugs. i am now 26 and though every once in a while I feel like hurting myself I push it away. I now have 3 beautiful boys who could not live without me. The one thing I realized is that suicide is greedy. Someone in this world does or will love and need you. i cant say if its right or wrong to not take your medicine but you have to realize you are worth living for and so is God.
