I'm feeling just about the same as you. I recently started a mood stabilizer in addition to my antidepressant and it will take time to get to theraputic levels. It can be a daily struggle. Most days I am exhausted and I have a hard time dragging myself out of bed, sleeping through my alarm, my kids waking me up, etc but then it started to extend into my morning at work. Once I'm busy, I'm distracted, then I'm okay for awhile. Once the daily grind is over and I finally lay in bed, my mind starts racing and that's when my tears start up. So I've started reading before bed to try and distract my mind. My therapist also recommended a book called "Mind over Mood" and I think this will help me a great deal. I know your frustrations, I'm going through the same thing myself. Hang in there. I'm glad I came here and I can see I'm not the only one feeling this way. I think you will make lots of friends, and things will only get better from here.
