Mental health is horrible

After seeing that pic of my ex last night it made me realise how bad mental health is but what鈥檚 even worse is that drs just give you medication knowing that these will slowly kill you.

They don鈥檛 tell you to meditate or to try help yourself which you can I am proof off that, they just give you tablets that will affect your body in so many ways and in the end destroy you.

When I was on medication I put on over 3st and towards the end I was borderline diabetic and had thyroid problems which I knew was all down to the medication I was being given because as soon as I came off the the tablets I lost weight and all the problems.

I see so many people who are struggling with mental health and I wish I could just tell them that they can help themselves, our minds are a dangerous place and thrive on negativity but we can fight against it.

I look back on when I was lost in that darkness that felt like my home but i never ever want to go back there.

Yesterday I actually did revisit it i suddenly felt that darkness wrap its arms around me and i actually felt scared but thankfully I managed to get away from it because i thought to myself how grateful i am to be alive, to be healthy and to have a strong mind.

My heart goes out to everyone that is struggling and i wish I could help them find the light but sadly too many are lost 馃様

sound like the dr had you on the Wrong med because of an underlying condition, there are Many antidepressants out there.

I have been on serious meds for the last 15 years, including antidepressants and blood pressure meds, a bp med that almost Did kill me (it actually killed my kidneys), do to an allergic reaction, the dr switched me to another bp med.

mental health, isn't just about 1 diagnosis or 1 medication or 1 doctor. For you, seeing a counselor might have been/ be a better option.

that said, I haven't needed antidepressants since I've had a dog in my life
@RoxClymer oh I tried every medication going because they couldn鈥檛 find the right combination with me but I was on antipsychotic medication as well because I have bipolar but my weight started when I started matazapine that鈥檚 a drug that makes you want to eat and eat but they had to keep adding to it to help with bad thoughts etc but because I was on so many it caused more problem within my body and drs tried to tell me it wasn鈥檛 the medication but I ah e proved it was as since being off them all I been healthy and had no problems lol.. I didn鈥檛 feel the medication helped with my mental health all it did was make me sleep and feel like a zombie i feel like I lost a lot of my kids growing up as my husband had to do everything for me 馃様
