It's tough to need attention...and we all need attention at times...but it's tougher to know you deserve some attention and aren't getting it.
Have you been tested for bipolar disorder? Sorry, if you've already shared about that somewhere... but you're posting about depression after coming down from a high... sure sounds like it to me. ((((hugs)))
What kind of meds have they given you that you can't take all the time? I think Rozerem isn't addicting.
Can you figure out what the knot is from? Anxiety over what?
