Restatement or Paraphrasing
Yes, I would like to. I am taking depression drugs that are not making a change to my condition. I need expert help, not a bandaid.

I see, have you just started them?
assistant
Information
I have about two months on the meds and I do not think it needs more time to take effect in my system. I know working things out while talking to someone on this platform would work, so here I am

With medicine like that, it can take months to take its full effect. Stopping can reverse and even make the depression come back worse. Have you told your Doctor your concerns?
assistant
Information
Yes, I have told my doctor my concerns and he mentioned this portal to go talk to someone without a face to get a broader view on your problems. This method has been working for a lot of his patients so far.

Hmm, well yes this can be helpful but that is strange he did not run any tests to see how the medication is reacting with you. On that note though what is going on with you now?

Affirmation and Reassurance
I am crying everyday and need to know what can I do on daily basis to keep me busy from doing other things that can harm me....

I would look to talk to a therapist about these matters. Platforms like this can help with some issues but if you are not reacting to the medication and these thoughts are still occurring then that is the path i would take.

Im not telling you to quit on your therapist but if their techniques are not working for you, or you do not think they are a good fit. You should not feel guilty looking for one that is better suited to your needs. Self harm is a very serious issue that strangers really cannot help you with.
assistant

I understand.

assistant
