My diagnosis has changed through my life (I'm 32) but right now it's Complex PTSD, Dissociation, Major Depression, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I was in the hospital last year for suicidal ideation. Since I have been out I have greatly improved and have been stable on meds since about February. I have not had any of that darkness or fog since February even when I've had problems.
However lately, things have not been good. Actually, externally they have. I have a great job, a great family, just moved to a nice house... but for the past two weeks or so I have been so overly emotional and I can't stop crying. (and I am not usually a big crier..especially in front of people.) I am not in that 'darkness' of depression where I want to die, but I am shaking, and anxious and tearful like every moment almost. I'm making myself physically sick.
A couple of my friends are having serious problems. One is leaving her husband, and the other has major depression and going through a rough time. I have been stressed out and worried about them and at first attributed my anxiety and tearfulness to worrying about them but I think there must be more to it than that because it just wont stop and I'm making myself sick and it's ridiculous. I don't see my psych dr until Sept (he's hard to get into) and my therapist...well... that's a long story but he's also off next week so I won't see him either.
Anyone ever go through a period where everything makes you cry and you can't stop? I had to leave work early today and took tomorrow off because I sat down at my bosses desk and just started bawling. I can't have this effecting my life this way. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
ps. I'm also very jumpy- startling easy and that's not normal either. No changes in meds since February.
