probably nothing

Is this is more me just writing this down than a question.

So I started antidepressants in February after a lot I couldn't cope with, but all of me problems are gone I guess, except fully coming out but I'm still not sure what I am bi/gay but that doesn't bother me much I think I am gay. so jump to now it July, I'm off for summer but my friends aren't yet. I feel alone even know someone is always home, I should fill happy I turn 18 this month but today I just feel lonely and hopeless. I should be coming off the antidepressants on the 28 of this month I was looking happy but now I don't think I'll ever come off them and that kills me. I would like to join the army buy I can't on meds. I so tempted to just walk away from everything and drink. I feel like just crying.

Maybe it's just this day that'a a negative one. Everyone has down days and it could just be one of them for you today. Look forward to tomorrow and realise that you've been doing really well getting happier and stuff and you just need to look to the future and if you have a few more months of meds does that really matter when you'll be more stable and happier in the longrun?

Wow. Tom, who never gets down and always has bright things to say..... Im actually kinda surprised, but Im glad you vented. it helps, i think, to say it.

I think as long as you have more good days than bad days, you're doing okay. I'm not on antidepressants any more but probably should be. i dont think theres anything wrong with continuing to take them a little longer, but you really need to ask you doctor or psychiatrist or who ever prescribes them in the uk. Like Abhorrence said, they're probably helping in the long run. But its also true that its hard to make it through the day, let alone think of the future. Just hang in there Tom. And rant more often. It makes us realize your human like t he rest of us.

I'm sorry Tom :( as Jack said we all have bad days. The thing with antidepressants is they do not cure the problem, they just help treat it. if there are feelings or issues which were causing you to be depressed, those issues have to be worked on. it can be a chemistry thing, some people need to take those types of medicines because there is a problem with some sort of chemical balance which they may not be able to control

have you thought about talking to a professional counselor about whatever is on your mind

Thanks seth :) and I have done counselling with a member of staff at college. ( she is trained). I told her all my problems and really opened up to her. The think is everything I've told her is over all the problems are gone. I just seem to slip back into the mind frame.
