       this has been bothering my attitude ;-;

       [sup]My parents decided to switch my anti-depressants last
       Thursday, and I've been having the worst mood swings since then.
       Like, my old anti-depressants did exactly what they needed to
       do. I could smile again, and I've been clean from cutting since
       March. That's good, or at least I consider it good. But they
       changed my medicine, and I'm not the same anymore. Anytime
       someone tried to talk to me when my mood was off today, and I
       screamed at them, then started to feel depressed, then a second
       later I was all upset again ;-;
       Any suggestions?[/sup]

       [sub]Tell your parents that you need the old ones again and tell
       them what it's doing to you. I battled depression for over a
       year because I'd always thought I was so ugly and that I needed
       to lose weight, and pretty much hated everything about myself.
       One reason was because I didn't have a boyfriend, and I figured
       out why: every boy that asked me, I turned down so every other
       boy is afraid to ask me. What I did was think about why I feel
       this way about myself. I resolved my problem over the summer.
       Now that's school's started up again I'm a lot happier and I
       feel better about myself--not exactly like "I'm so gorgeous,"
       but more like, "I'm not ugly, or fat." If self-esteem is what
       you're dealing with, I suggest look in the mirror and find
       things that you like about yourself. Say things like, "I don't
       like my nose, but I love how pretty my eyes are." Find the good
       in yourself. That's what I did, and it worked.
       If it's bullying, which happens to everyone, you could ignore
       them. But fighting back will make it worse. Over so many years
       what I've learned is that no matter what, someone's not going to
       like you. No matter how awesome your clothes are or how pretty
       you are, or how nice you are, someone's not going to like you.
       And that bullies want you to feel bad. So don't give them what
       they want. I shrug and say, "So? Why does your opinion matter to
       me?" But whatever you do, don't fight back. They'll just keep on
       coming at you, and every time they just get more vicious.
       No matter what it is that causes your depression, you should go
       back to the old medication. c:[/sub]
