Medicines problem
I am taking medicines from 5 years... but 2 year before i got a psychiatrist who gave me excellent recovery... In starting my problem was headache on full brain part, heavy head, restlessness, panic attacks, depression, short breath, breathlessness sometimes... it looked like i will die... but with the help of that psychiatrist (amazeo 200, pacitane, venlor xr 75, tetrafol 7.5, rexipra 10 ) i recovered everyday... So after 1.5 years of his medicines i recovered with the headache on front side of brain, panic attacks went 80% , i started feeling fresh in morning and much more... And now the symptoms to be recovered are brain power & the same symptoms... but these symptoms are not at that peak... last year march doctor expired in accident...so now i am not getting psychiatrist who can give me a constant recovery...i know medicines take time to adjust... peroxetine gives panic attack, escitalopram is not working, fluoxetine gives burning sensation in throat.. I am tired and lost hope

Drink water. Stay hydrated. Depression is always accentuated by dehydration. Lack of water in body makes one lethargic. We dont have the energy to get out of bed after waking up in the morning. When we suffer from depression, staying on bed is the worst thing we can do to ourselves. Which brings me to my next point Get moving. Moving can be huge for those suffering from depression. It does not matter how much you move, as long as you are moving and increasing your movements with each passing day. Try to aim for workout with every passing day. Start with a walk. Just keep moving. Avoid listening to sad songs. Please. We kill ourselves when we do that. We indulge in self pity and we are throwing ourselves further into the deep pit of depression. Find someone to talk to. Always have a go to person in your life and that can be done when we stop isolation ourselves. Try to find a person who is understanding enough for you to say this to him/her. “i want you be there for me when i want to talk to you. If i wanna talk for 15 mins, you be available for 15 mins, if its 2 mins, be there for 2 mins. Always be available”. If you cant find a person who is that understanding, i have an even better option. Find the higher power. Allah! God! Bhagwan! Whoever you pray to. Even if you are not a religious person and do not practice, its okay! Allah is very kind and merciful. try to talk to HIM. Pray to HIM. What this does is that it is comforting to have someone you can rely upon. Remember when we were little and had a father or a mother or a granny or an elder brother. Every time we were upset we would just go to them and everything would be just fine. Give Allah that space in your heart. Unburden! Offload! Any mishap, any accident that caused you to suffer from depression. Stop taking responsibility for it. Just take it off from your shoulders and forgive yourself. It is okay if you lied. It is okay if you hurt someone. It is okay if you cheated. It is okay if someone died. It is okay if you made all the bad choices. It is gone. leave it behind in the past and try to hit the restart button. Try to start all over again with new a new energy inside you. New goals. New Hope. Have hope. It is always there. If it is a particular incident that is bothering you or if it is your current condition that bothers you. try to think anything worse than what has already happened. In my case, my mother died and left me alone. I was thinking is there anything worse than that? Yes! There is. In my case i imagined if my mother had lived any longer just because i want her to be my side, that is so selfish because it would have only prolonged her suffering. Yeah she would have been by my side and all but am i that selfish? So try to think worse than that what has already happened. Drink water. Lots of it. This comes again because it is THAT IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not confuse lack of energy and lack of motivation with depression. That happens when you do not drink enough water
