They Know it All

When I started to be okay
They took my medication away
Had someone to help me
Set my mind free
Gone is my help
My parents with that dealt
Started to get better
Now more stormy weather
Because my parents know it all
Into this bottomless pit again I fall

Wowee, darkstar, I love the matter of fact approach in this piece. Really striking. However, I am keeping my fingers crossed that it isn't about you!

Thank you...I'm ok for the time being...but that's just for the time being. Yes, it is about me. My parents decided they didn't like what the psychiatrist was doing and that they didn't think I was getting help. But they said they knew better. I can't do anything about because I'm still a minor.
Oh well...I'll live...I think...

Oh Darkstar it is terrible when parents think they know best!!  Sometimes they don't!
I'm a parent, I'm speaking from experience.  I hope you can talk to them and discuss this, and perhaps agree to try the old way a couple more months??  Please try discussing it with them, calmly, sensibly and quietly!
Best of luck hon, and let us know how things we work out.. k?

I tried talking to them...they just won't listen. They did all this like 4 months ago. I guess I just have to deal.

Darkstar,
so sorry to hear your parents don't listen to you. Is there someone who they respect that you could talk to and then they could advocate on your behalf.

Be well
Kethry.

Something how they hold the key to your whole future in their hands...and perhaps they are following the right course and know exactly what is best for you or perhaps they are wrong and you are at risk due to their inability to make correct decisions...I am hoping they know what is best for you...James

Have you tried St. John's Wort?
It's an herb you can purchase without
perscription at a health Food Store. Many, have received tremendous benefits from it. I do hope this is writing, and not true misery.
If it is, I do understand, I too have suffered from depression, and it is hell.

thought provoking words,
Bj

take it one day at a time, and please talk to your parents if you feel really down and depressed remember most of all that you are the most important person so don't worry about others right now worry about how you feel
