Boom.

For the past two weeks I have been stable. It's been amazing! Honestly, after about a year of being mixed and rapid, and tapering off effexor, these past two weeks I have felt normal. And like things were going to be okay. I wasn't HAPPY, but I could see how my life could keep going.

And then Monday I felt a little down.
Tuesday, worse.
Wednesday, worse.
And tonight I'm in a crumpled heap and can't stop crying.

The worst part is that I felt so hopeful that what I was doing was helping.
I could really use some words of encouragement right now.

Hugs, you can get through this. Were here for you. Try to take a warm shower and go to sleep tomorrow may be better.

Don't give up. Take Miguel'smom's advice. There is always hope as long as there is a tomorrow.

Try to remember how nice it was being stable and that you will get back there again.

Every journey is 2 steps forward, one step back. What you are doing could be helping, but it takes months of new habits, med etc to really start to take hold.

Thanks everybody. Today was a little better, but now I'm back down deep again. The trigger? A stupid tv episode that made me emotional. Jesus I hate this.

Meditation. Benadryl. Sleep.

Thanks again. Maybe tomorrow I'll pick myself up again.

Can anyone tell me what to do? I haven't been able to stop crying all day. Over nothing, seriously, nothing. I'm convinced I need to quit my job, break up with my boyfriend, and drive and drive and drive until I dissapear. I called my pdoc and left a message, but I seiourlsy don't know what to do.

Supposed to go on vacation on Tuesday. Non refundable.

This will pass, it'll suck for a while, but it will pass. Hold off on making any lifechanging decisions for a few days at least. Try to notice things in your life that you are thankful for. Even small things, like having a comfy chair. Is there anything that comforts you?

Are you stressed about the trip at all? Can you break it down in your head, make it more manageable? Put some plans in place to get through it.
