Hi chi ! I think its a case of which came first "the chicken or the egg"? Like while I was experiencing severe panic attacks (undiagnosed, thinking I was just NUTZ), I became depressed. The anxiety and panic attacks were controlling my life, I could go almost no where except for work (luckily I worked for Doctors and felt "If I fall out from whatever the heck is wrong with me, they can DO something to help me". Then I became totally housebound. WHO wouldnt get depressed? However, once my anxiety and panic were under control, I have experienced no "clinical" depression. I have BLAH times, but I would guess that everyone has those, and "situational depression" as well. Your job seems quite stressful (altho I really don't know what your job is), and you have mentioned deadlines, etc, which adds stress to your already stressed out system. Your feelings of the "blues" could be what I call "let down times" - especially if these times are after an extremely stressful period - where you are wound up tight as a tick - get thru that stressful issue, and your body just sorta kicks back to relax.

I am soooooo happy to hear that you think your meds for the anxiety are working !!!!! Keep on keepin on !
