Discussion Empty

[hakureii]

It's been a while since I've had a reason to live, the days are the same, I just feel like living glued to my bed and I barely have the courage to make a decision. I've used to be a very antisocial person and I always kept myself to myself, but for some time now I've been able to let go more, and now I realize that I've managed to make some friends, but I still feel empty, I feel sad and I really don't see a reason to continue living. My psychologist told my parents to no longer have hope in me, and that I wouldn't be able to change. My parents don't trust my strength, and my friends just look at me as a weirdo. I started taking an antidepressant, but I didn't notice any difference in my mood. I feel like I'm a burden to my parents, friends and anyone else. Would ending all of this (kms) be the best solution? I'm a little afraid of death...

I started taking an antidepressant, but I didn't notice any difference in my mood.

i started like 3 or 4 months ago.

but i really thank you for these words, i'ts really being hard to try and everyday i don't know what i do. i've been thinking of so many things and i can't handle it all. i will keep trying, even if it be hard, i think that i can do it

Antidepressants don't work on some people, including me. And I agree with you, life feels empty.

I also feel the emptiness of life. I have taken Sertraline and I don't think it has helped me. My psychiatrist said that antidepressants can't remove the lingering sadness and emptiness I feel from having Borderline.

Maybe switching to a different medication can produce better results for you? Worth trying if it improves your life
