I was put on a few medications because I was self harming and made 1 attempt. For me, my medications didn't help me, but also made my depression worse for me. They've given me fairly bad side effects and destroyed my ability to focus in school or enjoy any of the things I used to enjoy doing. I'm afraid to tell anyone because last time I tried, they increased my dose and said they would send me to a psychiatrist to give me stronger meds. I don't want more meds because I'm afraid that they will make it even worse and give me worse side effects. Should I tell someone? Does anyone else have experience with medications making it worse or better for you?
