Woops I accidently posted an update to the wrong thread!

I went to Chicago with my family during this past weekend. We went for a wedding. We had the daytime to ourselves so we all slept late and then explored the city. Chicago is a nice place! Lots of great architecture and great food! We visited the Bean and were amazed by it. Visited museums too.

It was nice being together as a family.

My depression is still heavy over me as is the anxiety. I have to take Klonopin every day now and I can tell when it stops working - it works for about 6 hours for me.

My pdoc increased my Prozac to 60mg but says it could be 6 weeks before I know if it does anything.

I feel so incredibly low and anxious at the same time. I'm nervous about everything. I think ahead to everything including bruising my teeth, to my shower, to work, I think about what I'm going to say next etc. It's exhausting. I'm glad when it's time for my evening meds because they make me very drowsy and sleep soon follows. Sometimes I wake up at night and start thinking anxious thoughts. I use my earbuds a lot to help calm down during the night but I can't do that during the day because I need to talk to others during meetings.

I'm going on and on. Thanks for reading.
