What does your body do when you are put on a regular antidepressant? I know that I fought depression and anxiety for over 6 years and I am only 24 years old. I tried every antidepressant on the market, with the exception of an MAOI. When I was put on an antidepressent it really had no effect on me, which is odd as ussually someone who has Bipoal Disorder tends to turn manic. But medications are strange that way. I just have a high tolerance to them, also the fact that I was self medicating didn't help. I think the most important thing for you to do is find out what your body is telling you. What is the source of your anxiety and depression? Do you have a chemical imbalance? Find a doctor that you feel comfortable talking to and one that you feel listens. I know that my credit is Horrible right now too, but my mental state is in such good shape that I feel confident that things will change for me in the future. And just Six months ago I would have said something completly different! But, I really believe that six months from now my answer will be the same. I think that if you do have a chemical imbalance medication is the first step in treatment for you. You may also wish to check into some counseling to help heal you past. I can not tell you how much finding a therapist that you are really comfortable with can change your life. It truly has changed mine! Good luck to you! Karen
One more thing, really don't sweat your credit right now, you really can change it. It is only money after all. Remember that life is worth so very much more than just a green piece of paper. Think of all the people you have touched with your kind words and your beautiful smile!
