I was going really well for a few weeks on 225mg of Efexor, but last week was so-so and now this week has been pretty bad.

I've had a few days now where I haven't woken since midday and I can't envisage a life for myself where I'm not a homeless person.

I can't be bothered maintaining a lifestyle, getting a job, etc.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share. Comment at will.

I agree that most of my weeks suck, BUT I forge ahead and have been doing so for a few decades now.

I am not saying it has been easy and that I have not had many boulders along the way that forced me to make the decision to take than "bend" in my road and find a way around the unpleasant, because I have had many boulders in my way.

You can both DO this! You have it in you to find a way to forge ahead for yourself. It may not feel this way, but you can do it...I PROMISE!!

BiscuitTin, maybe you need a change of meds? My son lived on the street for the better part of three years and he made it through those years. I DON'T wish that life on anyone!!

to you both!

agreeing with Casper... maybe a change in meds might be something to consider.

Just wanted to stop in and send hugs to everyone struggling, and wishing you to find a job *I know that's hard* and get out of the hole you're in. Don't give up

(((((BiscuitTin))))) Very sorry that you are feeling so low. I do know how you feel I was stuck in bed for 6 weeks not doing anything at all. I mean nothing. I agree with the others you might have to try a new medication. Also I would print this post out and let your doctor read it so they can see how you are feeling. It is important to let them see when you are at your lowest so they can truly help you. good luck, many hugs for your day

Wishing you tweaked meds and renewed vision. And may motivation flow into you faster than it drained from you.

Thanks, people.

I'm feeling much better right now, hopefully that was just a bump in the road or something.
