I am starting to feel better and sort things out.
I was taking only a gram of inositol, but within a few days of taking it I noticed, a quite dramatic change in mood.Instead of seeming small, things got extremely huge. A building was very tall and very scary,
it was no longer a building but a threatening monster. I was watching a tv show and somebody's eyebrows started scaring me, I could not figure it out. - You must understand I was feeling good before taking it. - It didn't really depress me but just freaked me out. After about two days of discontinuing, I began to feel extreme guilt.
I still feel I am responsible for world poverty, I feel guilty eating when others are starving.
I don't know what to do because I am in university and can't spare much money but its like I can't get these feelings out of my head. Every time I start to feel good its like there's a flash of something that turns a good expereience into a bad one. If I laugh at a joke I feel bad because others in other parts of the world aren't having fun.It's getting better, but I have no logical way of refuting these thoughts. Do people here think that there is a eternal hell - I keep thinking I'm going there for some reason. It's like gods saying how dare you take a drug to question what I've given you.
Anyone else ever feel this way,
any suggestions?Linkadge

I personally feel as though virtually no one is going to an eternal hell. But your feelings about hell and guilt are typical with depression. Before tkaing antidepressants, I had lots of those kind of feelings. I also felt as though I shouldn't treat my depression because it was part of my punishment. I don't feel like that anymore because of antidepressants.

Yeah I have had similar feelings lately. Like today, I bought some new clothes which I havnt done in ages, and it felt ok at the time, but i then started to feel guilty afterward and now i cant look at them for feeling sick at my actions, like i dont go anywhere so i dont need them when i could have given my money to a charity, how weird??!!! I was also feeling like this is the way my life is meant to be, how god's planned it, so I shouldnt be using meds to make myself better, thats why they dont work. as for advise well sorry im useless! just hoping that starting on amitriptyline will stop this, or will it never end? who knows!!!!

These feelings come and go. Sometimes I feel as though God is so personally involved in every action of this earth, and other times I think he is sort of distant, just letting things flow like a river (as it chooses).
Sometimes I feel very logical about it all, and at other times I feel like it's got nothing to do with logic. It is the absolute worst feeling to be feeling like you're going to hell forever.
I'm starting to think it isn't true.
