I've been a lurker for so long but I've finally decided to post something because I honestly don't know what to do. A lot of stuff has happened in the past year including the breaking up with my GF of 4.5 years, losing 3 dogs, parents getting divorce, etc. It finally got too much and I almost tries to kill myself back in September by downing as many different pills as I could find. Luckily someone walked in right before I did it, smacked the pills away, and held me down until I promised to let them take me to get help. I spent 7 days at a mental health unit at a hospital before being discharged. Now it seems like people are just avoiding me and I feel so lonely. And the worst part is the waves. Nobody tells you that it just keeps coming in waves but one day you could be feeling great and the next it hits you like a truck. I know it will get better at some point. I just have to keep following my recovery plan and it will take a while, but I just need to vent and eight now you guys are all I have.
tldr; lots of not so great things happened, tried to kill myself, recovering and need to vent

The people avoiding you are doing it because they don't know how to handle the situation or how to act. It does get better

Sorry for just seeing this, but coming from someone who’s been there, PLEASE DM if you need to talk or to keep your mind occupied.

If you've got depression, you need to go to a psychiatrist and have them write you a prescription for meds. The meds work just fine.

I am. I've had several appointments and I'm taking lexapro now. I just started but they said it takes a while for it to actually take affect
