and I really don't wanna go my third time.

I know some people would mock me for being depressed and making mistakes, but I can't help but feel that way. I don't want to be this way and I try my best to be happy, but today I just broke down and started to cry. I got off anti-depressants on my own because they were horrible.

It's hard to move on from traumatic experiences in the past, getting over exes, getting over the fact that I don't have it bad, but I'm not like other people, having anxiety with people and outside, etc. Everything's been really difficult in school and with my family and my plans are to drop out of school to get homeschooled by private tutors. My mother agrees, so I'm getting tutored in the summer as well..

Depression still lurks inside me though, so does anyone have any tips?

You really shouldn't get of the meds on your own! You should talk with your doctor/whatever about maybe trying another kind or something instead?

In what way were they bad?

And, do you talk to someone?

I had a hospital psychiatrist but I'm trying to get one now to see if I need any. I don't really wanna take any though.. :/ I stopped on my own, which was bad..because I took Nyquil and some other medication with it, which resulted in bad side effects. Eh.

I took Zoloft and I was getting sick often that time for about a month.
