Keep with it Dave, they’ll get you fixed up.

Great news!

If you aren't on any meds now then the right meds will help but it may be a couple of weeks before you see what they can do for you. When meds help with thoughts, then that clears the way for therapy to be more effective. Go man, you are doing good for you.

I am not knowledgeable of mental health at all. Never been on any meds for it other what am now an it is not considered a med for mental health at all . I do know it is not something I what go around tell coworkers or others at work if u value a job . Preety mean world nowadays , probly take medication weeks to work an try different ones? Who knows. I heard mental wards where in straight jackets or tied up an electric shocks or what not. Just so no can't work or drive under doctors release. But this paranoid crap or whatever it is when start think things over repeatedly or keep look things is worse then way back when or at this time a year. Summer . I think depends on mood or time a year. It just totally sucks an very little fun at all nothing . Very hard get over it after 4 or more decades. I think I'm last year to 2 yrs. Gradually worsen . I think if do nothing . Lifespan could be cut much shorter . It can cause heartattack or something . Really wierd to me this stuff is an shocking lately an ppl start notice. Monday was crappy day

Nobody has to know unless you want them to Dave.

You got this!

Agree with ADC the world doesn’t need to know your business

May I kindly suggest reading the Bible, Dave? It's not my intention to take away what others are saying but rather add to it. Reading the Bible is supposed to help with depression.

Can't get in any sooner till later next week . Not that long. Unknowen happen
Just so if meds can drive . No idea if it help or how long. Reading up mental health. Anxiety is one more common an that what it is for years an more worse in recent years an seem like worse this summer. This heat seem flare it up . The sun is killer outdoors an noway I wanna be out walk it it long . Which I don't . I notice 2 my cats, particularly the one smarter one. Seem sense something up an see him watch me at times like morning before work. It is something I don't wish on anyone. Horrid beyond imaginable. I really think it cause heart attack or unknowen if left go in time

It’s a tough problem but you’re on the right track so hang in there, the doctors want to help.

It would help if had good insurance. Limited to where can go. All outpatient places with that kind health. At least week or 2 to get in

I think we know too much of coonman's business. I wonder why?

P.S. Did you ever buy that shovel and start digging up your sewer line? Sorry, something else to worry about.

Lots of good advice on here.

I have a daughter that struggles with depression and a couple years ago she took an excessive amount of Benadryl to try and "ease" her pain.. As a parent, its heartbreaking and gut wrenching watching this play out. Without going into all the details, I'll share my experience with our daughter. She has done the "meds" and the therapy protocol, still speaks to a therapist once or twice a month. She is off medication, which some days makes it awfully tough. Without question, the number one thing that has improved her overall mental health is her change in what she eats. NOT one single doctor asked here what her diet looked like during all her "assessments." The questions were about emotions, feelings, self doubt, coping skills/mechanisms and a myriad of other things. They didn't ask if she got outside in the sunlight, walked, got any exercise, fresh air, etc.. I am here to tell you that these things are VITALLY crucial to one's overall well-being! More so than any medication, which all have side effects.

As a society we are more medicated than we ever have been, why is that???? Why do so many struggle with depression and anxiety, especially in young people? We are more unhealthy than we ever have been, our kids life expectancy is now less than ours, why is that?

I wish nothing but the best for anyone that struggles with mental health issues. All I'm saying is look "beyond" the typical "medical protocol" that we as a society have come to consider normal.

Hopefully find out in week. Was some cancellations I got call about . But then say docter was sick or didn't call back in time . Probly all different kinds mental stuff. But agreed. It is terrible to be like that. The feelings from it. Benadryl. Such. The allergy pills I got from docter are in same family an decide quit take them until at least after get into pyscho doc. The therapist vist. Actually could say the first one did me little good except verify stuff go on an make me feel more crappy that verify for sure . After years it an escalate. Hard say what happen for treatment . Both times there . Once therpist an other sign release info papers. Went restroom down destered area from big heavy door entrance to Dept . About 50 ft from entrance Dept door. Several rooms under const an well lit but noone around nowhere . Stand face urinal. Both times before I went into Dept. I rember hear restroom door open slightly an felt as someone peer in at me quiet an close door an heard walk away. As I turn away from them . Kind creepy . I thought one big guy orderlys u see walk around kinda like bouncers as area town in an bldg there. U gonna need a few mgr guys. But think about it. I doubt would been them . Then I was think someone hide around in 1 destered ros under const . Noone was around there . I wonder if any those places like that or medical bldgs that any ones work there are arm with guns in drawer

Sure it wasn’t a custodian

Kinda weird it happen 2 times, exact same time. I couldn't understand how anyone can take Benadryl. Makes u feel horrid

I suffer from depression, I denied I had it for years. Being married with three children working all the time , I figured it was just stress. I finally realized I needed help. I got on med last winter really helped me. I quit them back in the early summer but I can tell I will have to go back on them. I wouldn’t wish depression on my worst enemy. By all means get help and talk about it. Takes a brave man reach out. Proud of you.

You will probably snap out of it this fall when trapping again.

It’s not seasonal depression. He has something different that he will work through with therapy and some medication.



You got this Dave, don’t give up. It’s one day at a time. You have my number, or you did anyway. If you need to talk, give me a call

U got keep busy do something so forget what go on an feel better. Can't explain it but way u think about things if u did it or not or check or look something again terrible when do it . I really think could cause heart attack as real wierd stress . I haven't but have heard mental I'll ppl say rather be dead an now get what they mean. Think past all paranoid stuff horrid .maybe mind is get out whack from it . So hopefully they can do something . I have no idea what ..but not want wait around if they call an say appt has be reschedule . Not sure this place it iffy place I think . I rember years back even. Go into office an ask secretary if I punch in this morning occasionally an wierd stuff like that. Now I think things like this all time on lots stuff . It sucks. An some days last hrs

Maybe you are getting dementia.
They can test you for that.Also prescribe medication for it also.
