If you want to skip to this threads point just read the bold part :).
I have been depressed for a long time (a good 6 or 7 years now) and I didn't tell anyone about it.
The first sign I showed to anyone was when I was 15/16 when I told my mom if she made me go back to school I wouldn't return (killing myself is what I ment) then no one said nothing more of it. I recently spoke to my older brother about it when I turned 18 in May and I have been to see a doctor. The doctor at first gave me Fluoxetine and after seeing the side effects I was too worried (yes, I have anxiety) to take them.
Anyway, I told him the following week I didn't take them because I was worried and he told me "They wouldn't of done you any good anyway. You have a personality problem." and that was it. No help, no nothing afterwords.
I then got a CPN that comes to see me every week or two and I first saw her a few weeks ago and I was panicing about seeing her (anxiety again). After she arrived I got down to explaining to her myself and how I am and such and she then told me I have severe depression and social anxiety along with 2 other things I can't remember about panicing and moods.
When she came to see me for a 2nd time she prescribed me Citalopram which I see is a different antidepressant with similar side effects. What I want to know is why did the doctor give me one thing and the CPN give me another :huh:? What are their differences? I'm worrying/panicing about it.
She has started me off on 20mg and I start taking them on Monday.
On a side note, things have since gotten worse, my mom has been diagnosed with lung cancer and that's putting a lot of pressure and stress on the family and me and I have recently been having more suicidal thoughts then usual which I have spoken to the CPN about.
To keep on track of this topic I won't go into detail about myself as I don't think/know if it is important.
