So I'm pretty sure I'm having a major depressive episode. I haven't been on psych meds for a couple years, but Zoloft helped me before. There's a site where you can provide info about your symptoms and medical history, plus a request for a particular medication (no controlled substances), then they'll send it to the pharmacy (so it's legit medication, and insurance will cover the medication itself). They have apparently already sent it to the pharmacy.
I do think some of this may be hormone-related, as I'm in perimenopause. I was reading on one site how the most common age for women to experience hormone-related major depression is 45-49. I'm right in the middle of that. So maybe that's part of what's going on? Bonus that SSRIs are supposed to help with hot flashes, which have been affecting me lately (my sleep in particular). So, fingers crossed this helps some...
