I'm not sure what it is but I have been so out of it lately.
Recently I decided to stop taking Zoloft cause I felt it wasn't working but then I started taking it again a few days ago just because nothing else is working.
Smoking helps sometimes.

I've found pretending that my ex is here and talking to him helps.
I'm not sure if that's normal or not but it feels better to pretend everything is okay again.

I'm just not sure what to do.
I'm binge watching Shameless and drinking tea for now.
It's terrible to go to work feeling like this.
You need too many qualifications to go on disability.
I just really hate going outside lately.

I'm right there with you. I've been sleeping my life away the last two weeks or so because I don't have the energy to do much of anything else and I'd rather sleep through the depression than consciously sit through it. Right now I should be getting dressed because I have to go to the grocery store for my grandparents... and yet, here I am. I hate going out because I don't want to deal with people right now. I am dreading this trip to the grocery store. My pdoc has no open appointments before my next one in 2 weeks and I should be calling first thing in the morning to see if she has any cancellations, but I'm just not up that early. I've been taking some old low dose Abilify I still have instead of my 10mg in hopes it helps to pull me out of this crap, but so far nothing. Getting stoned is the only thing that makes my mood even a little better, and even then, I only do that in the evening when I allow myself to relax without stressing over having to do things.

It's good to know someone else is feeling the same. I've heard that the long term effects of smoking can make depression worse so I'm a little leery about it but it works instantly.
I wish there was a way to get it prescribed.
Usually when I don't want to go out on my day off I wait until it gets dark outside.
Maybe you could hold off a bit.

I have the same problem.
I actually forgot to go to my appt but I didn't feel like talking to anyone so I didn't even call. Just ran out of my risperdone. I hope they can just talk to me over the phone cause I really don't feel like sitting in a waiting room.
