Reluctance for meds

[mia_lily]

I was on meds for depression, gradually came off them under supervision. Not taken them since late summer.
Have recently fallen into severe depression and have been repreprescribed meds. But I just can't take them..I dont really know why..its almost like my mood is too low to care about taking them and feeling better as I have nothing left to look forward to.
Has anyone else not taken meds even though the need them??
I really don't know how I'll get through this :(

Yes.

I have no advice but sending hugs your way if you want them, and hope you manage to start taking them.

It’s taken my poor dr 15 years to get me on board to really accept I need meds and get onto a good regime. I feel resistance because I want to feel ‘free’, ‘myself’ even if that’s ****ed. I’m also scared at times of side effects and even scared of getting better. Because with getting better comes responsibilities, things matter, I can get things done wrong, there is value in things again.

Maybe you relate to one of these reasons? Maybe not. It comes down to time and being sick of being sick I think. One just hopes you get sick of being sick before it kills you. Try take the meds? I highly recommend it. Not that “just do it” is going to help lol
