i have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder 10 months ago and i had to quit med school because people started to talk and i got confused and scared..i went home in cebu 7 months ago and i decided to shut myself rather than tell anybody else because i would not want my family to be dragged into this....i dont know what i should call it it but im having a relapse..i stopped my medication and therapy went i went home and now i think i need it again because ive been doing all these crazy things again..i wanted to go back to school this june and im scared that if i seek treatment now it might blow my chances in getting accepted in a decent school here in cebu...
at a young age age i knew i was different because of the experiences that i had...it was not until 10 months ago that all the things that i kept inside of me began to show because i was in a new environment and the new environment made me feel a new person to the point that it challenged me to ask myself who i really was ...its true that committing suicide is a result when people cant cope with what their dealing whether it be a problem, stressed or confusion in life...but ive committed suicide more than once enough for me to know that before a person reaches with the decision of doing such an act, we do try to deal with it...we are aware that there could be other solutions but then with my personal experience i choose to do it not because i wanted to stop the pain or the emptiness but i did it because rather than hurting other people emotionally ending my life would have been a better option...my scars are there to remind me that i should be stronger but when your emotionally and mentally unstable your logic goes down the drain....
i had three psychiatrists when i was in iloilo...i first went to our school psychiatrist and we had therapy but when she knew that i was a CUTTER i was referred to a child psychiatrist because of my symptoms...i also saw a psychiatrst that specialized with abused women...it really does make a difference it we are in therapy and when we are on proper medication...
i changed my medication four times before we found an anti depressant that perfectly worked well for me...anti depressants dont work like magic that if you drink it once you would instantly feel happy butbase on my experience i took if for 5 days before i felt the effect...
my psychiatrist have been begging me to see a psychiatrist here in cebu since i am still not well...and since my symptoms are getting worst i think i need to find one asap this week...they suggested lots of good doctors but DR. pureza onate was their top suggesting because she has been in this field for forty years now...so if any of you happen to have her number please text me so that i can see her asap...09228643401...if you also need someone to talk to or ask about these things i will try my best to help you...
PS... to people who think that suicide is not a serious matter...think twice...no...think many times...dont wait for someone important to die before you take this matters seriously...i have lost friends in my old support group before....
