Feeling depressed again all of a sudden

boogiesmash · Mar 13, 2016, 07:09 PM

I don't know what triggered this but all of a sudden I'm depressed to the point I want to cry. I woke up late today and was 2 hrs late to work but I was fine then throughout the day I laughed socialized trained and was fine. Then all of a sudden something about couples came up and I'm crying. I think of my self fat ugly unable to get a girlfriend. I think of my past failed attempts and failed relationship and wonder if it'll ever get better or if I'm just better off dead (is this consider suicidal thoughts)

My t is in process of tweaking my Meds and is tapering me off Wellbutrin (it possibly caused agitation and anxiety.) this started 5 weeks ago and have been fine till today. She is also considering increasing my Latuda.

Is this Meds that need to be tweaked or combination of lack of girlfriend appearance and Meds?

Hello boogiemash: Well... the Skeezyks is not in a position to say what it may be that is causing your current difficulties. But one thing he does know, from personal experience, is that med changes seem to throw everything off balance for a period of time. So if your t is "tweaking" your med's it is probably to be expected that you're going to feel off-balance for awhile, both physically & mentally. Sure, you may feel sad at your romantic prospects. But it may be the med changes that are making you feel more emotional about them at the present time.

Personally, the Skeezyks would not consider simply wondering if you'd be better off dead to be suicidal thought. But then the Skeezyks is no expert in such matters... although he does have his own suicidal thoughts on pretty-much a daily... sometimes hourly basis.

Best wishes...

In my opinion could be meds tweaking...at least for me whn caging meds or dodes,all my emotions are magnified like something that wuld bug me,now makes me MAD-might say things I would normally only think. Also anything depressing me-suddenly becomes my whole focus and I can feel hopeless. ...hope this helos-can you call your t to talk about how your feeling/with timing of med changes. ...sending you hugs/well wishes

Meds can only go so far. Like helping your depression. But meds can't get you a girl. And therapy can help your self esteem. You have to work it from all sides to achieve the outcome you want. I'd say work on yourself before worrying about a girl.

All good advice. I found a group online called meetup. Maybe when you have the energy, you could go to one of thier activities.
It's not like singles. It's everyone. They meet for happy hour, tour a
Museum, meet at a park to feed the ducks.

Then you could meet new people and maybe someday it'll turn into a relationship.

Read self help books, or get CDs at the library to stay positive.
We love you. That's the key. Giving and accepting Love.

I loved the Trees, and they loved me back.

Do you want a girl because you want to be loved and want somebody to share life with... or do you feel oblidged to have one?

Either way, you don't need any random girl. If you are desperate to have "a girl", you may end up scary "the girl" (the one) away... you need to learn to love yourself and be comfortable single. Then you can find somebody, or not... and either will be okay and fee lright.

I understand being down about certain aspects of your life. I get that way on occasion. Hell, the other morning I woke up crying about it. But a lot of it are things I can change and feel better about. So, pick one of the things you're feeling down about and figure out some ways you can work on making yourself feel better about and change it. Even baby step ways! Hugs.

You're just like me when I'm depressed. I'm single, so I start worrying that I'll never have a relationship, that I'll always be alone, I'm too ugly for anybody, I'm a loser, everybody hates me, etc.. One time it got so bad that I completely avoided everybody in school. (This was 4 years ago when I was an undergrad in college.) I chose not to talk to anyone because I was convinced nobody would ever want to talk to me. Then I was debating if I should kill myself since I felt like my life was meant to be miserable

Depression messes with your head like that, and it really sucks.

Sorry if I don't have any useful advice, but I'm letting you know you're not alone.

Hopefully you can muster the strength to pull yourself through it. But I will tell you, my life has gotten a lot better since my meds have been properly tweaked. I was feeling the same way as you. I hope you can hang in there

My trick was a perennial smile. And I cought a few.

My psychologist said almost the similar thing I can't love anyone if I don't love myself first.
