i think i may be depressed because for quite a few years now ive felt empty and/or deeply sad, and its been getting worse the past few months. my therapist has suggested numerous treatments, but most of them have either proven to be inaffective or i feel like they just aren't strong enough. im considering going on meds, but im terrified of medication. im afraid my mood will change for the worse, or ill just be numb. and im scared that i may forget to take the medication which may have negative affects.

Sorry to hear you've been struggling to feel better. You can continue to address new and different therapies with your therapist until you find what does work for you. Not everyone with depression responds to the same remedies, so keep going until you find what works for you. Meds can seem scary, but many people do find them helpful. Talk with your therapist about your concerns before taking anything. She/he should be able to explain things to you about them. As far as forgetting to take them, have a parent take you to a local drug store and for a couple of dollars, buy a daily pill box. This divides the week into separate days for your pills, and you can see if you've taken it for the day or not very easily. Keep it someplace where you know you'll see it. It makes remembering to take your meds very simple. You could also just set a daily alert on your phone. Call or text us anytime at 888-222-2228. -
