However, when I consider myself 'well' I'm not as active as I really want to be, even though I am in much better health than when going through any episodes.Procrastination of really important chores is a major issue that I feel has an effect on my depressove phases (guilt, more anxiety etc).
Does anyone else experience this when outside of depressive phases? RBD or other types of depression, your experiences are valued!
Also, if you struggle with RBD, what medication are you on? Have you found any medication to not work?
At the moment Im on 20mg escitalopram and it jist doesnt seem to do the trick?
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, and many thanks in advance for responses,
Ed

Hi Ed,
See if this describes what's going on in your head and why you are procrastinating and why it is so closely linked with your depression.
