However, fortunately, to quote the stjames person, "Once the meds start working you want to go out a socalize, do things, ect." You just gotta make sure you do and not waste it. Good luck w/ everything.


I find when I start getting involved with people it's harder to handle when I go down again. I try not to make commitments because I hate the feeling of letting people down. Sometimes I forget about that.

I used to follow the advice to go out, socialize, get involved, blah blah, but not only did it not help, it eventually got me feeling worse.

Platitudes about fixing depression abruptly stop when addressing people with suicidal ideation. You are directed to "seek professional help". Hell.
