What is the best way to deal with depression?
Author: I have started medication for depression just yesterday so I need to give it a few weeks to start fully working.
I always feel down. Like no one cares about me and I feel like I want to be alone all the time. I hate social interaction, even with my husband and daughter. I used to love being with friends and family. Now I have no friends.
I am always sleepy. No amount of sleep makes me feel rested.
See a counselor. Medication isn't always a magic fix all. If there are underlying issues causing your depression, then a pill isn't going to fix it. The only time a pill will help is with a chemical imbalance. Most of the time there are underlying issues, but it's easier to take a pill than it is to deal with it.
