I have seen a counsler before and i am currently seeing another counsler and a psychiartrist. I am on anti depression pills, but they don't seem to help. I find i cant trust them and i hide who i am. In fact i hide it so well that i don't even know who i am. I read all the time, all kinds. I have been having this terrible dream about death and killing day and night. I was harassed for 10 years and find trusting people difficult. I want to open up but i find i can't. How can i get over this fear and is there something deeper here then just depression?

Develop and gain the habits of being strong, confident, and self-reliant.
Involve yourself in public speaking, mingling with people, and ascertain your presence in all gatherings.
Be More Extrovert than Introvert.
Try to keep cordial relations with one and all.
Try to see men as Men, and ladies as LADIES, instead of just as SEX objects.
Try to control your smoking / drinking / drug habits, if you have any. Too Much Excess of anything will just ruin you whole.
Even breathing exercises and little yoga (from proper instructors / guides), or sincere prayer may help you.
Always SMILE, and pass on the smile on others faces.

Trust does not happen because there is a fear of losing something. Try to think of a worst case scenario, and when it becomes very clear that really we have nothing to lose, since we came empty handed and are sure to go empty handed, a little trust creeps in.... this can be allowed to grow gradually, and nothing prevents us from taking a 'reasonable' precaution based on past experience, because, though we have no risk in blind foolish trust, our performance and happy living is better with sensible trust !

I agree that your medication may not be working properly but I would suggest that you ask your psychiatrist about the possibility of your having bipolar disorder. Depression and bipolar disorder are so similar that often times they are misdiagnosed. You could actually be on the right medicine but you may need to have it adjusted to go with the right diagnosis. Don't give up on people, just keep putting a little trust out there for them to work with. Good Luck.

Keep looking for the right Counselor. You will get the help you need. Don't give up. The Dr. needs to work on the dosage of your anti-depression medication. If you just stick with it they will help you get the right dose. I will
say a prayer for you.

You need to try different meds darlin and tell your therapist that what you are taking is not helping you at all. If you are taking the wrong meds its as if you are taking nothing at all maybe worse because you are still thinking that the meds are helping when they are not...Many people do not hit upon the right meds or combination of meds right away...tell your therapist asap and hang in there!
