[QUOTE="witzend, post: 31099, member: 99"] Abbey, I'm so glad that you were able to mention this to your doctor. Try looking at the anti-depressant as a tool rather than a cure. It won't cure you. It can be a tool used to help you get to a better place. Like a hammer is used to drive a nail. A rock will do the job if it's all you have, but a hammer will do it better. The burden is still on you to drive the nail - or to feel better - it just makes it an easier job to get done. As far as feeling out of control, you actually are out of control when your mind goes to that dark place. Maybe it doesn't feel that way because you are not taking anything in that contributes to it. But if your blood pressure was high, you'd take a pill to control it rather than let it kill you. Again, it's not a cure, just a tool that helps I hope that you will give it a chance, and that if it helps you will remember that it helped and not give up on it because you feel better. That can make it less likely to help in the future. [/QUOTE]
