Hey
Since a young teenager I had depression. Then I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease which hit me quite hard, then the medication etc..
I have dark thoughts frequently but I also feared asking for help from my Dr. I feared the label, the stigma attached with mental health and I am not a confident person, I have a low self-esteem which may be due to depression. I didn't want other people, Doctors, nurses to see that I was taking anti-depressants and form some kind of judgment.
Anyway. I plucked up the courage to see my Dr and I was proscribed anti-depressants. Do the work? Do they help?
I am in a low place and I just hope they work, as if not I fear I may do something drastic/stupid.
