maybe I do need anti-depressants
I dont know. First of all, I would say that as sure as I am about anything I am sure that I would never ever kill myself - I just dont have the mentality for it.
But I sit here, having spent 5 days pretty much locked up in my apartment, which is basically so messy it is unfit for habitation, drinking heavily and doing nothing but post online. I sit here, fantasizing about suicide and making lists of all of my flaws. I am hugely overweight, dont have any real friends, and feel like I am clinging on to life (by which I dont mean living, but an acceptable life - a job, a flat, fitting in with society and so on) by a thread.
I know that when I go back to work on Monday my mind will shift away from it all, I'll busy myself in work, and the people around me, and I wont feel so bad.
But I know when I'm over this... someday soon I'll be back here again. Lonliness shadows me, I am becoming incapable of operating socially. I feel closer and closer to just allow myself to drift to the bottom. I am starting to fear that I am becoming fit for institutionalization.
My mood swings dont seem to have changed at all in the last five or so years. I am withdrawn, spend as much time as possible alone, am unhappy and feel directionless and powerless for long periods of time.
Maybe I could cope with more of this, maybe I could carry on as I am... but Im starting to feel like, I dont know. Maybe Im just not strong enough to cope, maybe I cant just pull myself together.
Anyway... I dont know. If I was to seek a doctor for medication, would it just make me worse, would I become a slave to the drugs? Would I be able to hide from employers that I had or was being treated for depression? or would they just tell me to pull myself together too?
