So i’ve been diagnosed with major depression. I’ve gone to a few therapy sessions and I must say that was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. It was so hard to talk them and by the third session I shut down completely. I know I need to go and I know I need to open up but it’s hard; these are people that I don’t know at all, people that I know are judging my every word and movement. After my first therapy session I was directed to a psychiatrist who immediately gave me a prescription for Prozac. I told her I would try it but ended up not. I got home and started reading up on it and I don’t know if I want to take medication, but I know it is supposed to help and I really want to get better. But I don’t want to take pills for the rest of my life, and I don’t want the side effects. I don’t know what to do.
