In reply to:
...i told my self "get happy or kill yourself, cuz u cant live like this"....
i totally feel like that myself right now. i have only been suffering from depression for a few months but i hate the way i feel. right now my meds are totally helping me out a bit by taking a bit of the edge off of feeling totally worthless and just not even feeling anything which sucks even more. but i just keep myself going.... i dont even keep living for myself some days. most days i keep on going because although i realize i could just take the easy way out and kill myself all my friends would be left behind wondering and trying figure out why i did it.
now how to go about making yourselg feel happy again i dont know how you did it but some advice would definitely be useful.

my meds are totally helping me out a bit...For many antidepressants, it often takes over a month to feel the effect. You should discuss how you're doing with your doctor. At this point, or in the next few weeks, he might want to adjust the dosage, or he might want to try a different medication.Are you in any kind of conseling? It couldn't hurt.

well i have been on them for a couple of months now and they have switched them for me once so far because the first one i was on wasnt really helping. i am in counseling as well i go to a counseling session weekly and that helps me to deal with a lot of issues as well.

OK, that's good. Sometimes you need to try a few different drugs before you find one that works well for you, or that doens't have bad side effects.My father took Paxil at one point, and it took over a month for the effect to kick in, but once it did, it worked well. Everybody's different, though.
