Spiraling down down down down....

About two weeks ago or so, I started feeling a bit blue. By last week, it was full blown depressed. And now, now I'm even worse. I feel so horrible all I want to do is curl up in a ball and die. Everything and everyone is annoying me and making me feel awful. I feel like I'm being punished and I don't know why.

What's worse is that I know that it's the depression talking...I know that my job is great and that I'm good at it, and I know that I'm being successful in the endeavor I took on this year (working full time and being mostly self-sufficient), and I know people aren't viewing me in the same light as I am...but I just can't stop feeling this way

You're right, the depression is lying to you. If you havent already, give your drs a call for help, be gentle with yourself.

I called my pdoc this afternoon. We're adjusting my meds again and hopefully that will help.

I hope that works for you. Mine did the same thing today, so we are both going to have our bodies adjusting. Good luck to you. Hope it helps

It's good that you recognize that it is the depression talking to you, that's half the battle! I hope your Pdoc can help.

I hope the med change is helpful quickly !

i hope you will get to feeling better.

do let us know how you are doing

Feeling it with you.... Hope the med change works quickly. Try to remember that your depression is lying to you.

Today has been better, mainly because work was so easy! Only 6 of my 10 kids were there, and the two that are the most trouble weren't. So I didn't want to pull my hair out all day which was a nice change of pace. But I'm still definitely down. Hoping to go up a bit soon...

Hope you begin feeling better soon. Stay proactive with your psychiatrist and persistent with your medical regimen Keep fighting for yourself because you are worth it.

Thinking of you...

Feel better!!

It's so difficult to pull yourself up once you start spiraling down. Best of luck - I'm sure you can do it!

Thanks. Today was another rough day, and if I make it through tomorrow and Friday it will be a miracle. My people-pleasing self agreed to work overtime, so I'll be working two 10 hour days in a row (7:30am-5:30pm)...

Oh, I hope you feel better!

I think upping the meds more has started helping. I'm not feeling quite as terrible. I hope I get back to "normal" soon.

That's good news Sing - hope you can have a nice weekend!!
