Finally, finally coming out of a horrible depressive cycle (lasted almost 6 months ut was really bad for 3). Thank goodness for my new pdoc who has a great knowledge of meds. I'm on 6 now but he says it won't be long term, just for a little bit. The confusing thing for me is that when i am feeling better I don't spend nearly as much time on here. I log on every day but it's like my brain is frozen and I can't reply to posts with anything constructive. It's frustrating!! It's not triggering for me, it's just I seem to be so distracted with other things (maybe things I wasn't attentive to when I was feeling crappy). I don't know, but I am here and I do read posts and I am hoping to gain a little clarity in the coming days so I can be a more productive member and more supportive to all of you like you have been supportive to me the past few months. Thanks everyone for your encouragement and well-wishes. I know you "get it" and that's so, so helpful in trying to recover.

I'm glad you're feeling better! It's always kind of a strange feeling when you are first coming out a depression...I notice things like birds singing or a pretty sunset or whatever; things that didn't seem to exist when I was low. I hope you continue to feel good!

Thanks everyone! I am definitely coming out but I have periods throughout the day where I literally can't so anything. I had such a great plan today and 1:00pm came and I just completely shut down until about 5pm. That's still frustrating but it getting better. The sui thoughts are much less intense and I sometimes laugh and actually mean it!

Good to hear that overall things are looking up.
I don't suffer from the same long-term episodes as you, but know that there are people who care and a strong support base. I hope you feel on top of the world soon. Those depressive phases are so unproductive and dibilitating |
