Hello everyone. I will try to make this brief. In April I went through several health scares: Pulmonary Embolism, heart arrhythmia, high bp, allergic reaction to a medication. Around this time, I also relocated to a new state for my job. After all of that, I started to get severe anxiety and depression. Ive managed to get a partial handle on the anxiety through short term use of klonopin as well as CBT and meditation. The depression, though, has been a different story. Since April, without fail, I get this overwhelming depression every evening. The depression is extreme. I wont go into the symptoms as Im sure many here know that feeling. Im seeing a therapist and a psych. The psych had me on Zoloft which was awful so Im discontinuing meds at least for now. Im extremely athletic, eat very healthy, socialize, get plenty of sleep and sunshine. With all of this, I still get the devastating depression EVERY SINGLE DAY, and it's now October (so 6 months now). Im reading everything I can get my hands on to inform me as to how I can get over this. Any advice or speculation as to what's causing this would be life saving at this point.
Thank you!!!
