I'm on meds and was doing fairly well on them but since I started keeping my mood diary a couple of months ago, I've realized I'm actually still having quite a bit of depression, it's just not as severe as it was before. Right now I'm trying to switch to a new pdoc, as soon as I get switched over I'm going to get in and see about a med adjustment. I also want to look at trying something different for my anxiety because what I'm taking for that works okay but it makes me really tired all the time and my current pdoc had said it might be a side effect that would go away, but it's been over 6 weeks and I'm still exhausted all day. Plus, although it helps with the anxiety that I was feeling for no reason in particular, if I get triggered my anxiety goes through the roof, and I tend to get triggered easily. I'm also looking into starting therapy again and I am starting soon in a program for people with mental health issues, they help you to meet any goals you set. So I'm doing what I can, but it gets tiring having to work so hard just to feel even close to "normal".
