i really need some help right now, i think i should call a depression hotline, but i’ve never done it before and i feel really nervous for some reason :( my partner’s given up trying to help me, he doesn’t know what to do or say anymore. i don’t know what to do or say anymore.

i..don’t even…

Anti-depressants turned my life around. Let me know if you have any questions about my experiences with them.

I’m glad to hear that! :) Yeah I’ve been on Efexor-Xr (I’ve always called it venelafaxine? or something?) for a few years now. I tried Fluoxetine early on but it didn’t seem to help. Maybe I should talk to my psychiatrist about upping my dose? I’m not sure. I definitely am more vulnerable when I miss a tablet, I notice that even before I realise I’ve missed one. My other life-saver has been my 1mg melatonin tablets, which get me off to sleep within 30min.
Thanks for the offer, returntothestars. :)
