because I need to confess this somewhere

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't been taking my antidepressant meds. Complete backslide. I don't think I have it in me to explain to the people around me that I haven't been doing this, but I'm out of my main prescription. It's finally reached the point where I think it may be out of my system again, because I can't sleep longer than two hours in a row or eat a full meal. My therapist will be so pissed if she finds out, but (as I've mentioned anon previously) I won't be seeing her until the 8th.

There's a lot of reasons why I don't have the willpower to take care of myself. There's not many why I should.

Just take your fucking meds so you don't have to live in misery and/or die, because you don't deserve to be miserable or die.

Not that difficult.

Sorry for the harsh approach, but I can't think of something nice to say that won't come off as being enabling or unhelpful or a smarmy way to make myself feel better for behaving nicely towards a depressed person.

Nice is not really what I need right now, so thank you, genuinely.

Sometimes it's hard to motivate yourself to do anything, especially when your brain chemistry is out of whack. If you would like some external motivation:

Go to your pharmacy. Ask for a refill. Ask them to contact your doctor if you're out of refills. Take your antidepressants.

1. Get a refill of your meds.

2. Get someone to tattle on you if you don't take your meds - if you don't want to deal with anyone, tell the pharmacy to alert your doctor if you run out of refills or ought to have run out of refills.

3. Take your meds.

Just do it. Don't think about it. Don't rationalize it. Don't try to find a good reason for doing it. Just do it.

Your brain chemistry is busy trying to curbstomp you from within, and doing things that are good for you regardless of how little your brain chemistry is making you care is your way of fighting back.

Every time you make the right choice despite your crushing lack of motivation and willpower, that's a victory for you.

This is something you should bring up in your appointment. If you can bring yourself to keep up with your meds, bring it up.

I assume you don't enjoy feeling awful and unmotivated and unable to eat or sleep properly. I assume that's not fun. The way to stop that from happening is simple (maybe not easy, but simple): take your meds. Just take them. Get a refill, and take them.

I know it's easier to say than do, and I know how hard it is to get up the motivation to do something when you're depressed. Do it anyway.

I genuinely hope you feel better soon, anon. *hugs if wanted*

As an anon who has just started on antidepressants, please go get a refill for your meds. Your brain is malfunctioning and needs those to help function properly. Like taking an incomplete course of antibiotics and having a relapse of the illness. Don't let the disease win!
