Familiar to anyone? I'm not at my worst, but I feel stuck in a cycle that I cannot seem to remove myself from. (I am medicated, and see a therapist that I have a good long standing relationship with.)
Ho hum.

I can relate to what you've said. I suffer from bipolar depression, anxiety, ptsd and adhd. Horrible combo. Anyways I'm medicated and see a therapist too. I've just crawled out of a depressive episode. It can get better! Now that I've climbed the cliff I'm scared it won't last. That's when my anxiety kicks in but I try and manage it best I can. Do you think you might benefit from a tweek of yr meds? I'm on a great combo of lamictal, lexapro, neurontin, geodon and latuda. Latuda is what's helped me get out of the hole I was in.
