Should I REALLY be getting this upset?!
Question: Should I REALLY be getting this upset.?
A while ago, I was diagnosed with clinical depression, put in therapy and on meds. Before I started treatment, I was at the end of my rope and couldn't take anything else.
Almost a year into treatment, I act the EXACT same way when I'm really upset that I did all those months ago. I rarely get upset, but when I do it's bad. I hurt myself and really want to die again.
I have a family of my own; this needs to stop. What's wrong with me.?Health Question & Answer

Since the cause of depression is difficult to identify it could be that you're using the wrong medication. If you tried other medications and found they didn't work maybe the work you need to do is emotional. Have you tried to really take a look at what's causing you to get upset while it's happening.? I mean really think it through and face it.? It's difficult to help not knowing your background. Our emotional past can be tough to admit to ourselves so those feelings go unidentified and that's probably why you hurt yourself so you can put a name you can recognize to the pain you feel inside. Hurting yourself on the outside is not the answer. Maybe the next time you feel bad you can ask yourself what current event could have triggered that feeling and try to work your way through it with the therapist or even by yourself at first.
Knowing yourself and identifying your pain is a much better answer. Know this though... We can't out run our past but we can learn how to be ok with ourselves the way we are. I wish you much luck and peace.Health Question & Answer

Maybe you should try finding the source of the anger, if you haven't already in therapy.
I don't know your personal beliefs and don't want to infringe, but calling out for help to a higher authority (like God) helps me. Sometimes that's all we need in life, is to call out for help.Health Question & Answer

When you get very upset, litterally sit down on the ground and meditate and or get different medicine. Both of these will work though I bet. . . maybe. Uh everybody seems to say get new meds and get different therapist. maybe um double the dosage or triple it. but dont go over boardHealth Question & Answer
You probably need to be on a different medication or a combo of several. Maybe your dosage needs to be upped. Have you told your doctor.? Chemical imbalances can do a number on you. I feel your pain as someone who is depressed and has been for years and years.Health Question & Answer
I think you should try talking to the therapist more. Medication doesn't always work. Try to go out with your family and clear your head. I would advise learning any and all side effects of your medication. Don't mix too many. Ask your doctor what he advises.Health Question & Answer
