Hello Jayv: I hope your appointment with your psychiatrist is helpful to you. Be as honest as you can about what's going on with you. I know allot of us tend to put on a happy face almost reflexively when we meet with our pdoc's. I know I do. But this is not really helping matters.
I take it, from what you wrote, losing 21 lbs. in the past month is a good thing. Assuming that you were, perhaps, carrying too much weight, then losing 21 lbs. in a month is a real accomplishment & something to feel proud of.
For most of us who struggle with depression in it's various forms, the low points just seem to come-&-go. We just have to learn to hold on while they're with us & know they will pass sooner or later. Those feelings of having no more energy to fight are the depression whispering in your ear, so to speak. It is possible to learn to acknowledge them, but not buy into what they're whispering. My best wishes to you...
