DO I NEED THE MEDS AGAIN?

Feeling: Fed up/miserable/irritated

I'm at a point where I'm really miserable in my home situation again. I'm not getting on with my family, especially my sister, everyone irritates me almost all the time and I can't be myself because I get loads of judgement my way - 'Do you have to watch that?', 'Why don't you choose something else?' 'Disney is for children.'

Better off?

I have about 1-2 months worth of anti-depressants and I'm wondering whether I'll be better off going back on them. I am going to be living at home with my family for at least another year or so, what am I supposed to do? Do I start taking the meds again or is it just my living situation that I have to deal with? If I was in a different environment I think I would be fine, but I'm not :(

*chomps Curly Wurly*

Of course I don't want to rely on the meds and take them whenever I'm a bit down, I know it doesn't work like that. You need to allow yourself a couple of weeks to adjust and for them to start working anyway, so it wouldn't do you any good just randomly popping them like sweets.

*chomp chomp*

I have been depressed, so slipping back into it is possible. If these meds will help me manage my current situation and help me to cope a bit better, then why not. Also, if I don't start them again, what would my alternative be, because I am going to be soooo damn stressed with my Postgrad course :S I just need to think it over a bit longer.
