Depressed

[Former-Member]

Hi there @Alex32redden 

I can see that you hold a particularly strong opinion about psychiatrists but I am sure that there are lots of psychiatrists who do want to help people. Helping people can be a great way to 'achieve' in life I reckon.

take care

I'm going to be honest. I've lost all hope in life. Nothing interests me in the world. People always treat me as less than them. I always feel no motivation to do anything. Nobody has helped me. I've had to drop out of another psychologist today for talking down to me and making assumptions about me. I honestly don't know how psychology even helps. All they seem to do is make me feel worse. People always avoid me. All i ever wanted was friends and a girlfriend. Now i don't think there is anything i actually want in the world. I think I'm done with this messed up world

Hey @Alex32redden. Sounds like you had a disappointing and frustrating day yesterday. How are you going today?

[Alex32redden]

Thanks for the messages. I've had a shocking few days. I've been feeling deppressed due to narcissists and my parents ended up calling police due to my suicidal ideation. The police treated me like ****. Very poor and non compassionate and now I have my second complaint process going that's caused more stress. Thanks fpr the helplines, I've used them before. The last one I called was actually you guys maybe a week ago. I was deppressed. The man on the phone hang up on me saying that you provide services for anxious and depression so he could not help me. I'm not sure what about being depressed isn't deppression but I would like to let you know about that phone call. It also took me a good couple of hours to even get through.

This is my experience with most helplines and yours was no different. This was the 20th of May at probably 5 or 6pm.

Good afternoon @Alex32redden 

I am sorry to read that you have had a shocking few days and that you found the helpline unhelpful.

Just a reminder Alex that you have posted on a peer to peer forum to other forum members so I am not sure who you are referring to when you say you were calllng "you guys" and "yours".

If you are wanting to communicate with the SANE Help Centre and want to give feedback or get support you can contact them by phone on 1800 18 7263 or email helpline@sane.org Monday to Friday 10am to 10pm AEST.  If you need to contact the moderators about the forums the email is team@sane.org

We hope you continue to seek support and connect with other members of the SANE forums.

All the best and please take care,

@Alex32redden  I'm sorry to hear about your bad experiences and suicidal ideation.

You said you keep going up doses in your anti-depressant, but it doesn't sound like it's doing the trick. I'm wondering about the possibility of being prescribed a stronger /different one by your doctor?

Thank you @Former-Member  as I'm out of my depth here and was going to call a Moderator.

[Alex32redden]

By "you guys" I was referring to your helpline. My depression is mostly due to growing up in an invalidating environment. I have sought help for this through mentalisation therapy and it was horrible. Pretty much every word I said was being blown out of proportion by my therapist. I am hoping to try the other therapy for my form of depression but am so worried due to horror stories about stigma people have suffered with my form of deppression. From what I can see, my form of deppression is the moat stigmatised illness in the world and that's why I never tell psychiatrists and psychologists I know my emotions cause my deppression. I have suffered through a lot of stigma already and don't know how I can cope with any more. I have loat all hope in life and if the other therapy doesn't cure my disease I don't know what to do anymore

[Alex32redden]

Please help. I don't know what to do anymore. And it feels like i have an illness that society treats as subhuman. I don't know where to go. I have heard even mental health places are very offensive to the illness and it was even given an offensive name
