Depression

Not sure if it's appropriate to post this here, mods feel free to delete/move if necessary...

I have been going through a difficult patch since my early teenage years, basically since the death of my cousin 6 and 1/2 years ago and also since moving to college there two years ago in the other side of the country....
Anyways, since moving I have sought help through a councellor and GP...

I was put on lexapro six months ago to see would it help my mood, emotional phases. I didn't find that this helped me very much and I've had my dosage increased twice and I still feel well not as good as I had expected to be at this point....

Sometimes I feel as If it should be me that is dead instead of her..she was only 14 and I was the same age and we were really close, we shared everything,grew up together...

I have talked deeply with my councellor, but I just don't feel as if I can explain myself fully and say what I need to say...

I will be honest and say that I havn't been to a session in two months because I came back home for the summer...Nobody knows at home that I'm having these issues and thats making things even more difficult but I can't tell them....

Basically, I'm wondering where do I go from here...has anybody out there any advice???

sorry, we dont and cant give personal medical advice here.

you need to go back to your gp and discuss your options further.
