I feel like I'm going into a depression. I'm sleeping a lot more, not wanting to be around people ie friends and family. I just don't want to do anything. I want to stay isolated ie stay up in my room. Not call my friend back. I hope I can get out of this depressive episode. I also have restless leg that makes it hard for me to sleep. It's due to the medication saphris that i am taking.

sorry that you are feeling bad. try to get out and about as it will help you to keep the depression away. do your friends and family know about your illness - maybe you can ask someone if you can just hang out and chill with them.

hang in there,
I know how you feel, this is where everyone says to do opposites, and it does help, although feels awful doing them sometimes. Maybe your Dr can give you something for the restless legs, that's horrible too try to sleep with. My pdoc put me on cogentin for restlessness caused by abilify, I know there other drugs for this as well. I saw on the restless legs thread recently other drug free options for this as well.

I hope this is just very fleeting for you.

Try and sleep through it if you can. When you are awake, make sure you are busy and/or have company.
Hugs to you
Thanks for this!

I am feeling more depressed and more paranoia as the night rolls on it is only 8:30pm and I think I am going too go to bed too much to think about at this moment. Thinking about death(somewhat that I want to be dead) and self harm.

I am the oppisite right now...a little on the manic side but shaking from the inside out. Ugghh! I hope you feel better. I agree...try to sleep through it..thats what I do. I have meds that will snap me right out of a depressive state but then I get manic instead.
