Hi Ultramar,
I read the above criteria and have a few questions. I started going through a depressive episode last Oct and it seemed to get better in February (after a med increase Lithium). I was getting out the house more and crying stopped.
In March I started getting depressed again, by April my pdoc started me on Lamictal. I have days were I have energy and motivation. I even put thought into my close and put on make up. I joined s gym. I started back cooking and stopped buying junk food. However a week or two later I started back not practicing good hygiene and don't leave my apt for days at a time. I've canceled appts w/ my T and haven't been to church in 7 weeks. I'm in the process of moving, I was doing really good packing. Now I can't find the motivation to finish the last little bit. I also quick going to the gym. I look forward to laying in the bed and watching tv. I'm more agitated and lose
my cool very easily. I don't know what's going on w/ me. I called my pdoc abt it, I just started 200 MG of Lamictal. She wants to give it a little time. Could this not be depression?
