I introduced myself in the intro forum but I thought I'd go a little more in depth here.
I was diagnosed with depression about 10 years ago, although I'm pretty sure I was depressed even as a child. I've tried all the SSRIs, but I'm allergic to them, so I'm currently on Cymbalta, which, until recently, was working just fine.
The last couple of weeks have been hellish. I cry all the time, I have a hard time going to sleep and then I nap a lot during the day. If I didn't have children who needed to be ferried about, I'd probably stay in bed most of the time. I've lost interest in most of the things I like to do, like cooking and reading and writing. I can't concentrate long enough to do any of them anymore. I spend a lot of time playing Candy Crush and trying to find something, anything, on Netflix or YouTube, that will make me at least smile. And sometimes I do find something, but as soon as I'm done watching it, I'm back in the hole again.
I really can't stand much more of this. I am going to call my doctor about it tomorrow and I've discussed it with my therapist, but in the meantime, things are just awful.
