My mood has been on the depressed side lately, so i've been looking around these messages again. There are a lot of contributing factors, but i'm having trouble doing anything about it. I know i should start exercising again, but haven't been able to motivate myself. I was having some relationship issues, but that seems better. Basically I'm just totally oversensitive right now. So i feel like i could cry pretty easily, i just want to avoid people, and am pretty anxious. I told my boyfriend, and he's concerned, and he wants to help, but i don't know how to explain it to him. I also don't want to over react. I was finally honest with my pdoc about stopping saphris, except she thinks i stopped it in June, so will think that's the cause, when i actually stopped it in Aug last year, and was just scared to tell her, even though i was fine until now, a year later. I don't see her til Nov anyway. My cognition has been really bad too. Anyways, just venting. Thanks

Maybe you need to make an earlier appointment with her to discuss what's going on and clear up what you told her about the other medication. She can only help you if you're being honest

If I were me I'd hate what I'm about to write...
A friend told me that when it comes to exercising, go easy on yourself. Just put on a pair of tennis shoes and go outside. If you still don't feel like walking, go right back inside. If you're ok, walk until you've decided you've had enough- even if it's just to the end of the driveway. It doesn't have to be fast or anything, just moving.

I love this but it's not what I want to hear when I'm on the depressed side. I hope it's the right time in your cycle to help a little.

I wish I could tell her the date I actually stopped it, but I can't because she won't want to work with me anymore. It's a long story for why i didn't tell her in the first place. But at least she has the right med list now. It's so tiring going in and out of depression

You are right about that for exercise. I'm going to try to do something easy tonight, like go for a walk. I think a run or a spin class would kill me right now
