I'm on 40 mg of Fluoxetine for depression - been seeing psychiatrist and counselor until I moved/relocated in August. At that time, I established a primary care (who has refilled my script) and a counselor, but no psychiatrist.

I have been dealing with a lot of stuff lately - going to school full time, working full time (at a job that I started in Sept), and I know my depression is getting worse.

Here's where I'm at today...

- Feeling hopeless
- Low self-esteem
- Feeling like I'm never going to amount to anything
- Bad body image - severe self hatred
- Lack of interest in anything
- Feeling sad over the stupidest things
- Feeling like I should punish myself for being so stupid (I am NOT going to hurt myself and do not plan to, but I still feel like I deserve it).

I called my primary to talk to a nurse and see what to do. I also called a few psychiatrists to see how long a wait would be to establish myself as a new patient. The soonest appt is in 4 weeks. I'm hoping the nurse calls me back but who knows when or what she'll say.

My question is, what else can I be doing?

To top it off, my bf called and it looks like he might be losing his job. We live together so he's going to come home and want to talk about it. I just don't have it in me. And his birthday is this week. He's going to be feeling down, himself, and I'm going to have to try and pull it together to help him feel better? Idk if I can...
