It's still so overwhelming. Having to move. Doing all the practical stuff.
My life is in shambles. I've been crying a lot. My family has tried to be supportive and called me every day.
I have a lot of anxiety in the morning first thing waking up. Racing thoughts, catastrophizing, heart palpitations and so on. It slowly gets better during the day. The evenings are the best for me.
I know this depression probably clouds my thoughts so I can't see anything positive in my life or my future. I'm not looking too far ahead. I'm still just trying to deal with one day at a time.
I'm on 300mg Effexor now. Today me and my psychiatrist decided I should try Duloxetin because Effexor doesn't work well enough (4 weeks now on 300mg).
I could use some encouragement and positivity. I hope all of you are hanging in there and are having some good days.

Good morning, Mat. I've been wondering how you've been getting along.
It's good that you're taking the projected move one step at a time -- moving is such a huge upheaval. And I'm very very glad to hear your parents have been so supportive. Calling you every day? That's great. My parents would never have done that. I'm in envy!
I'm also glad to hear you'll be trying a new medication. Effexor never has worked well for you. Not every med works for every person, so it's entirely possible this one may work better. I sure hope so. You may have to adjust the dose...
Many hugs and good wishes and please keep keeping us posted.
