Question by star: what do i do about my depression?
I’m 18 and have been depressed for as long as i can remember. but i was only just diagnoised this year for major depression. sometimes i feel better but it’s like the calm before the storm. i moved out a couple months ago into an apt with my friends, i don’t have any money for meds or therapy (not that it was helping because i could never get a freaking appointment) and my school takes forever with their counseling.
i can usually handle myself okay but recently i’ve felt like my 13 year old self again because i’m now back to…
-cutting
-experimenting with(stupid) drugs (all the time)
-other self mutilations
-eating disorders
i just hate this feeling and i have no control, i’m freaking out and i almost feel like i should be hospitilized but idk how to go about doing that or what else there is to do. i start college as a freahman in a week. i’ve tried different outlets, i write/read/draw/dance etc. all the time. i’m not suicidal (yet) i’m just freaking out and want to cry/scream/scratch/bite/choke all the time, do anything to escape reality… what do i do?
I did a trial with the depression patch and it REALLY did not help and i also tried something called like trazadine or something? because i also have insomnia it helped a little bit but made me drowsy the whole day
i would like to get better without meds but i know that is difficult what i need a guess would be free therapy but that doesn’t really exist.
