Question by xMCRx: I think I’m depressed. Should I take medicine?
I’ve been depressed for 2 years that I can remember. I hate myself, some of my friends, I’ve started drinking, smoking, and cutting to try and get away from it, I can’t go to my family about it, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve just decided to go to the doctor about it, but I don’t know if I should medicate for it, since there are side effects for any depression medication. I’ve tried all sorts of natural medicine, accupuncture, etc, and nothing seems tmo work. Could I get your opinions?
