I get aggravated depression November- February-ish. it's so bad that SAD was added to my dx. Pdoc always doubled my appointments those months.

What is my effect on medication. I accidentally overdosed at 17 and before that I lived on a pack of partially digested diet pills a day . Naturally after the overdose my body just refuses to ingest pills. So taking medication is a ten minute fight with myself trying to keep down the pills. It doesn't help that my viibryd (an antipsychotic with an antidepressant) makes me nauseous if I'm not constantly eating/drinking which is a healthy side effect for me.

Semi-sane was very difficult and problem some to get use to. Especially the longer lighter depression because now it comes with suicidal ideation. It has literally changed our whole lifestyle for better or worse depending on what aspect of life you are talking about. While becoming more stable my paranoia and disassociating have become worse because my episodes have become longer. My ability to keep a stable living situation has Improved dramatically. My parenting ability has gone to **** as well as my coping skills. So it's a give and take.
