oh, i know everyone has different reactions to it but seroquel really knocked me out. possibly it's taking some time for you to adjust.

the other thing i'm wondering is, how have you been previously when coming out of a depressive episode? i'm 26 and my docs think it's going to be a continuing part of my life (something to manage, not overcome completely) and so i've had to learn skills of how to accept it and work with the capacity i've got at any given time. i know when i sink into a massive depression that my therapy turns from working on issues to a more supportive forum. often with my pdoc (who i do therapy with), i just go in there and sit and let myself be 'taken care of' for an hour. i think proper therapy (tackling abuse issues, or any issue really) would be so much when i'm trying to recover from an episode.

so another idea is to keep seeing this T, but maybe work on really gentle stuff? i remember the last time i was recovering, me & my T just talked about how to challenge my expectations of progress... how finally having a shower and brushing my hair each day was something to value, even if i did just get back into my pjs and go back to sleep after. sometimes our bodies just need time to heal from the exhaustion of it all.
