I do and have taken vitamin D to help with depression as I know I tend to get more down (not necessarily depressed) during winter times. I also have been making sure I get 8 hours of sleep each night, though it's hard when I've been coming so far behind on my school work. I also have been making sure I talk to someone about life and how I am everyday, for at least 15 mins. I have set up a support system for me at school for this (to talk to teachers I mean).
If this sounds mean in anyway, I'm sorry. I am just upset from a customer at work and am ruminating on it.
Thanks for your response  |
It's interesting how it often takes a few months after coming off an anti-depressant to feel the adverse effects. I too, stopped my medications and only crashed a few months later. When I was later hospitalized to start a new medication, my psychiatrist says it's quite common. It's rough!
I think it's great that you are engaging in these healthy activities, that's awesome!
Keep it up, and I hope your new medication helps ASAP.
