I just cant believe I ended up there. But coming off my anti depressants and switching to another made me suicidal.
The place was so nasty, everything bolted down, not even a regular bed to sleep in and so many rules, I felt worse being there than before I went in.
The only good thing was the nurses were all very nice.
But the shame I feel about it is horrible, I feel like I let everyone down and I feel like a huge burden to my husband.
Anyways I start my new anti depressant tonight ( effexor) I just pray that it works for me.

Don't feel like you let anyone down-- because you didn't. None of this is your fault, by any means and if you're taking your medication, or switching medication so you're better, then you did exactly what you needed to do. It happens to us, you know? I can't guarantee that I won't have a similar experience, because I've had issues with anti-depressants before and the results with some of the effects were really bad and I was out of control... it happens to the best of us.
You are most certainly not a burden, either-- he's your hubby; there through anything you or he may go through. You make each other stronger and I bet the only thing that he's concerned about is his wife that he loves dearly.
You're going to be okay-- you just need to try to remember (and I know it's hard, especially when there's a scary moment) that you are tougher than all of it; you have to be. Keep you faith in yourself and if you don't have any, try to find it again. Rely on us, because you do have sisters here who go through the same scary stuff... strength in numbers! Don't be afraid to rely on Hubby either; that's what he's there for and he knows that.
Lots of hugs and support-- as well as best wishes to you!
I am so sorry you experienced this but you will NEVER fully know how many people you have helped by sharing your story. You have great courage and many wishes and prayers from us...

There is no shame in something you have absolutely no control over. Those medicines are powerful things, which is good when they help and hard to withdraw from. I hope the effexor works for you. It's really helped my DH, but everyone responds to different things. The important thing is that you take care of yourself and that you keep fighting! (((HUGS)))
Please...please do not be ashamed....feel proud for being courageous enough to get the help you need.
We are here for you
You are a sweetheart....
::Hugs::

Girls- we are cysters by chance but friends by choice. I love you girls so much. You give me strength,courage, guidance, support, and friendship
Thinking of you sweetie.... I hope your doing okay now... You must never think of yourself as a burden your're not, your just someone who is ill and needs support to get through this...
Everyone is right - there is nothing shameful about going there, just because society has this taboo on mental health issues... it's sad we don't treat our mental health like we do our physical health.
((hugs))
