Thanks for the good advice, Sandy. I'm feeling better today. I think the key for me is making sure that I balance all the work with a little bit of fun. Getting out of the house and socializing with friends and getting some exercise makes a big difference. I had a lovely date last night and then I got up early this morning and went for a long walk. It's kind of chilly out there but it's a beautiful day. So my mood is pretty good. If I start slipping again and the exercise and socializing don't help, I'll talk to my doc about going up to 20mg.

I think I suffer from WAD. I made that up myself -- Weekend Affective Disorder. I usually get much more depressed on weekends and I think it's because I push myself so hard at work all week, don't get enough sleep or relaxation or exercise... and then the weekend comes and I give myself a huge to-do list and instead of doing anything on my list, I sleep a lot (because I'm just worn out) and then feel horrendous when I wake up... and then I feel lousy because I'm wasting my weekend and not doing anything but sleeping and sitting around on my butt. I broke that habit this weekend... went to bed early Friday night and got up early Saturday morning and then again this morning... and my mood is much better. I just have to make sure I continue this... and get enough sleep during the week and find some sort of balance between work and personal life.
