I don't really know where to start...

I've been taking anti-depressants for a while now. At first I started to feel better, whether this be a placebo effect or whatever... but now I'm starting to notice how I'm acting. I feel pretty numb and disinterested with the world... I'm more moody and irritable. I find myself getting annoyed at people for the stupidest of reasons and the worst thing is that I notice myself getting annoyed... I realise it. I just don't feel myself anymore. I'm this different person and I hate it and I don't know what to do anymore.


I made the mistake of telling a girl that I really liked that I was taking anti-depressants... This lead her to find me "unstable" and she run a mile... go figure!! I'm just hoping sooner or later I'm going to catch a break. Cause God knows... I need one!

The sad thing is just wana be loved so much, I hate feeling this lonely and isolated, makes me so sad, and the worst part of it all is... I'm having those thoughts again! Thoughts of suicide and getting out of here, which I haven't had for a while. I just don't think I'm improving... I did... now i feel like I'm back where I started. It's really hard for me to explain. But I'm just not myself anymore... I feel so lost and sad. I don't know what to do... :(

Hi jaws05,

First of all, welcome to depnet. =)

Your profile says that you are from UK. Unfortunately, there isn't a UK version of depnet, if not, you could share with thoughts and feelings with your fellow countrymen, and you might find some who can relate better to what you have to say.

I personally feel you are someone who's quite honest and clear about your own feelings, thoughts and behaviour; how they affect you and others, for example. This is actually a good human quality and character trait, jaws. You probably might know that there are still some people who are either in denial of their feelings or they choose to deceive themselves and others.

It might seem to be a sad thing that you wanna be loved so much, and yet you are feeling lonely and isolated at the moment. However, the fact you clearly know what you actually seek deep inside you is by itself a ray of light, a ray of hope pointing you towards the path of discovery - of happiness, love and peace.

I too share your feelings of loneliness and isolation, jaws. I am also moody and irritable.

Frankly speaking, most humans, be it guys or girls don't like to approach people who are depressed. This is the law of mutual repulsion. =p

However, don't give up hope. There are still fellow humans who are willing to give time and love to those like us, unconditionally. It's a matter of whether you are willing to believe and do what's necessary to help yourself become more stable, so that you can spot such a person when he or she does appear in your life.

In other words, give yourself something to look forward in life, jaws.

I'm glad to know you are continuing with your treatment and I hope you will continue to find ways to help yourself achieve the peace and love you so earnestly seek.

You can do it. At 24, hey, there's too pretty much to experience in life. Be an explorer or adventurer of your journey in life.

Take care, jaws. ^_^

Pardon me for my long-windedness. LOL. ^^;
