Feeling tired willing to beat depression by any means

Imawarrior22 December 12th, 2023

Hi everyone recently I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder around two weeks ago but idk if it’s the right diagnosis because I can get up and brush my teeth shower exercise and go to work. But I do cry a lot feel down and have unaliving thoughts a lot especially around my menstrual cycle. I’m stuck between getting on antidepressants or beating this naturally I honestly just want this to go away have been dealing with it for about 2 months now.

All your symptoms are typically felt duration depression. I've also gone through all those feelings. Yes, in all probability it is MDD. So you need to take antidepressants as advised by your psychiatrist. You can't come out it with self effort. Also, you need to continue the medicines, as long as your psychiatrist wants you to, even if feel well after taking it.

@Imawarrior22 Hey i hope im not too late in your search for treatment but potentially look into PMDD. It is a condition that matches a lot of your description and i know doctors can be very lazy when it comes to examining womens health and a lot of throw away drugs are given instead of proper investigation. Definition from the web: PMDD is a severe and dysphoric form of PMS. Symptoms of irritability, emotional hypersensitivity, increased anxiety and food cravings, sleep difficulties, and decreased concentration characterize PMDD as well as depression, particularly atypical depression. Maybe have a look into it on social media as i have heard many stories of people suffering from this whilst being given the wrong treatments as their condition went uninvestigated for a long time. I hope you are okay!
