hey DF

im gunna keep this short so here it is. im depressed (surprise surprise) and i have suicidal thoughts about everyday. i could take it anymore earlier in the month so i checked myself into the hospital. i was in there for about 10 days and it seemed like it really was working. i was happier and whatnot blah blah blah. but when i got out i was right back to where i started. well i was going to an outpatient program and i heard from many others than this program was better than the inpatient. me being there now, it was alright for the first few days but now i just feel like its not going to work. i really really want to be happy and more optimistic and all that jazz but deep down inside i really dont think im gunna get better. has anyone had this problem?

Hi Before the Meloncolia

I am really glad that you took the step to help yourself.
I am sorry that you feel like it does not work for you.
With any treatment it takes a lot of patience and persistence to feel better.
Its great that you had days that you felt good, you will eventually get more with the right treatment.
Depression, even with treatment may still come and go, but on the correct treatment the episodes will not be as bad.
Treatment does not cure depression, it just helps make things a lot more manageable.
