this has been bothering my attitude ;-;

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?

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:
