Can't stop crying

[Arnold]

Mate from reading your posts in EADD I can see you have been hammering the serotonergic drugs of late, after sessioning on the serotonergics is one time when I get teary. I'd knock them on the head for a bit and see if it improves.

I'd have said the same.

Your self medicating with drugs will only make matters worse.

Personally I'm off mind if you know you are depressed you should knock all drugs on the head till you get it sorted.
Doing any type will only make matters worse.
Don't want to do that you'll probably be stuck like that for years to come.
Not to be to blunt but it's realistic in my mind.

I have discussed the whole thing with my fiance and she has been very supportive throughout but doesn't really know what to do to help other than just be there for me, it is hard for her to see me like it when I am crying and crying and depressed.

Have arranged a doctors appointment on thursday, I told the doctor on the phone today that I have been self medicating with benzos and my anxiety and depression are getting really bad again. So hopefully I will be able to get something sorted at the doctors this week. I would really like to see a psychotherapist weekly but I can't afford to do it privately, hopefully I might be able to get something sorted like that with the doctor on thursday.

I did go to see a therapist a few weeks ago and she offered me something that I am hoping to do, but it cant start until december. There is a British association of psychotherapy reduced fee scheme that the therapist I went to see is a part of, she is doing her Phd and in december she needs a male patient for her study. It would be perfect for me too as it would be 3 times weekly therapy for Jungian Analytic. This would be a 2 year committment at only £6 per session.

I think that I would benefit greatly from 2 years intensive therapy at a price that I could afford like that. It is a shame that I have to wait until december to be able to start it.

I really need some sort of therapy now too.

Carl Jung was a fucking genius, I read his biography/auto-biography (he basically told someone what to write, I don't know what that makes it, I am not that into literature to know what it is).

I am really happy you have this opportunity and I hope that it works out for you.

What is your depression like? Do you have negative/sad thoughts which cause you to become upset, or is it just emotions which seem to have no cause/root to them?

Did you have a happy childhood? Do you have a good connection with your parents/family?

If you don't want to answer any of these questions that's OK too.

What is your depression like? Do you have negative/sad thoughts which cause you to become upset, or is it just emotions which seem to have no cause/root to them?

It is quite hard to explain as it is often negative thoughts that I can't control that are quite disturbing that then make me upset and depressed, it is also often because of my anxiety and feeling like a failure for not being able to overcome my anxiety.

Other times though the emotions do just come from nowhere and I find myself sad, depressed and wanting to just sleep and never wake up.

It has never really been caused by one thing consistently, but it does always seem to come back.

Did you have a happy childhood?

I had a relatively happy childhood, parents divorced when I was 3 and my mum raised me mainly, although my dad was around too and spent a lot of time with him too. No really big major childhood issues.

Do you have a good connection with your parents/family?

I have had some big issues with my Dad a few years back when I did something really horrible to him and that relationship was damaged for quite a while, it has recovered now though and I speak to my dad regulary and we get on well.

My mum now lives in america while I am still here in the UK, she has been there 5 years now and I do miss her a lot, there are no problems with our relationship though, wish I could see her more though.

I have good relationships with the rest of the family too.

If you don't want to answer any of these questions that's OK too.

I don't mind answering the questions at all, am in a question answering mood this evening.

You shouldn't have to feel like a failure, everyone experiences anxiety (other than sociopaths...). It takes a real human being to feel anxiety.

Well I am glad to hear you have a relatively good relationship with your parents.

Have you tried asking them for advice/help? Maybe your parents have undergone similar life experiences? I understand that your parents aren't always the most desirable source for advice, but it may help you understand more about it.

Do you think drugs/drug withdrawal has anything to do with your depression? If so, do you think it explains only some of it, half of it, most of it, or all of it? Sometimes people don't notice how much drugs can bring them down, whereas other people seem to know all too well the role of drugs in their depression.
