So my mood had been stable for about 2 months. No mania, no depression. But now I'm feeling dysthymia. Just light depression. I am on 300 mg lamictal, 1 mg klonipin 2x day and geodon 40 mg 3x day. I thought everything was going good but I have this nagging dysthymia. I haven't lost interest in things. I am reading the autobiography of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle who wrote Sherlock Holmes and am enjoying it. I've also found a new taste in music, jazz and light jazz. Things feel like they're going well, until for example, a week ago, I was told I was 40 lbs overweight, and I only weigh in at 138 lbs. I know I'm not overweight but it made me depressed. I feel like maybe it was the comment that triggered it. I have triggers just like all of us. I also haven't had a job in a month and have had to rely on family. I am looking for a job in dats entry and haven't got it yet. I don't know if that's contributing too. I just feel a little detached from life and the last couple days I just want to sit on the couch and do nothing. I hope this passes because the last couple months have been somewhat great. Well I meet with my pdoc tomorrow. I'll have to see what he says. Anyone else have dysthymia?
