Pills are not your first answer. See someone first, even your doctor will send you to a therapist before just giving you a pill. I know firsthand that its more important and better for me to talk it out than it is to just eat a pill. I have been sooooo depressed before that talking made me feel better, but I only saw the therapist 3 days a week, the other 4 I was miserable so I was put on Zoloft and told to do some form of exercize. Exercize increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain which releases endophins that make you feel better. Don't resort to pills unless you feel MISERABLE and cant function. Right now Im only doing what I have to because my ex is gone, and my friend Diana makes me get up for school. So Talk to someone.. and they can help you determine if you need meds or not.. the decision to take a pill takes a long hard discussion and thought..
Im actually going back on Zoloft or Paxil.. since the episode with my ex, I havent been able to be me inside my head. Im seeing my psych teacher(who is also a licensed psychologist) and we've spent about 3 sessions debating my return to meds. I dont LIKE the idea of meds again, but I know that the meds will help and when Im feeling ok again I can get off them again. For me getting off of Zoloft the first time wasnt hard, I just started forgetting to take them because I was finally feeling better after about 9 or 10 months.
