I got hit by a wave of depression a few days ago and it's getting worse. I don't want to exist anymore.

Hi Franz,
It's good to hear from you. Sorry you are having a challenging time.

Is your wife around and able to lend some support?
I know you travel a lot. Are you near your pdoc?

I am very concerned as you tend to spiral very quickly. Have you been in touch with your pdoc? Does your pdoc tend to adjust your meds when you get depressed?

I hope the depression does not get any worse. I am very concerned about you.
Keep reaching out.

I feel exhausted. I just want to sleep, but I have a ton of responsibilities. Wake me up when this episode is over, please.

HI Franz,
Have you been in touch with your pdoc?
Is your wife with you? (I am unsure if you are traveling.)

It is very important for you to seek as much help as you can, as you tend to go downhill very quickly, often losing insight.
Please do contact your pdoc.
Please do take care!

Is there anything you can do when a depression like this happens...med changes, for example?

Feeling a bit better today after keeping active the past few days. Hopefully the clozapine will make my usual fall episode shorter.

Ugh. The fall depression...yes. I sure hope Clozapine does the job.
