Hi Flynn
no worries, glad you enjoyed your snowboarding.
You did sound down when you said you had chatted to your mum and now you were going to have to go on meds. What happened with that? I was a bit worried that your mum had banned you from coming on here, so good to see you back.

flynnguy,
It's good you started a topic for yourself, and that you don't feel ashamed about your feelings.
As you yourself can see, a lot of peoples experienced the same or try to understand you.
I hope you feel a bit at home at h2g2 and that you'll find a place here to feel a bít more comfortable.
As you might know,the only way out is, that you'll become able to help yoursélf in coping with these feelings. And finding ways of support in doing so. (medication/therapy/friends/books/etc).
Getting to know yourself better and what brings up these dark emotions.
It is a good thing that you are listening to yourself and share it (here) with others. So you dó feel care for yourself, otherwise you would not have started this topic.Didn't you!?
No one else , however, can do it fór you. We all háve to go our own way and get through our own shit.
But not alone!
Together.
It's a tricky balance, but important to understand.
I really hope you'll find your way in life and in yourself.
Greatings from Amsterdam ,flynnguy

Don't say that only to us, but álso to the one who describes the medication.
It is more important that they know, than that we know, although sharing is always O.K.
And móst important; try to understand from yourself why you object that medication. What's the emotion in it.
NB. the choice isn't always yes or no to medication, but finding the good medication for you ánd the good quantity.
It is "shit",yes, but we cannot always do without for a while.

Hi flynn, hows it going. I am glad you are not on meds yet. I hope you were not insulted by my comments on your age, but I really do think that being a teenager can be a real strain on the body and mind and taking meds is very extreme unless you are really sure it is depression, and it would have to be really bad depression at that.

Hey Flynnguy
Speaking as a depressed teenager, hang on in there. I am told it gets better. I'm gonna take a look at your page in a mo.
Much respect for the stand on meds. The way I see it, they don't help you get undepressed, they'll just suspend the depression till you come off them - at which point it comes back in full force.
Glad to hear you have a hobby, cos that helps, takes your mind off stuff.
What brought the depression on? I mean are you being bullied or family troubles, or other tress, or has it just happened?
BTW, are you into RPG?
Just keep trucking.

Dear Flynn,
I don't work for Zoloft. Actually I just had my meds changed to Valproate for the easier side-effects and I've never been happier.
Here's another cool website:

I know that life without my drugs would be worse, and not just for me.
Seeya,

Dear Flynn,
Found another site you should look at:-

Please note that I CHOOSE to take my medication. No one forces me to or tries to emotionally blackmail me into doing it. I CHOOSE to; I LIKE it.
