My mom told me today that she's really worried because I seem really depressed and am back to my flat affect from before my med change in February. I knew that it was happening and increased my AD about 10 days ago. It started with having to put my cat to sleep, finding out my other cat may (probably doesn't at this point) have cancer, and stress from family crap with the holidays. To add to it I'm pretty sure I need my thyroid med adjusted. She thinks the AD made it worse (it didn't, it helped a lot but didn't take the depression away and I'm on the max dose and I don't want to up my AP if I can avoid it because of sedation when I am already SO tired).

But if she's seeing things like this they are there and real. Not hard to believe since all I want to do is sleep. I miss my cat so much....and Christmas is just hard.

I guess I'll wait a few more days and consider getting in touch with my pdoc. I'm still eating and that's a good sign. I also moved therapy to Thursday this week; my therapist thought I seemed a lot better with the AD increase last week so I don't know what he'll think.
