Thank goodness because of my new medication, my responses do not seem too severe, but for me I notice that if I am really busy I can sometimes get overwhelmed and panicky and nervous. And then at the opposite end if I do not have enough to do I tend to get bored or sad with the beginnings of being depressed. Anybody else have such innocent things set them off as too much or not enough to do? It seems like a pointless thing to have such an affect on my state of mind.

It's interesting how such little things can have such an affect on your mind. I too find that when I'm bored I start to get more depressed (you'd think I'd then start doing things, but I'm not that motivated.) I don't have any advice or anything, just wanted to tell you that you're not alone in it.

Thanks for the response. It's nice to know, because it sounded sort of ridiculous to me when I wrote it - I mean there must be lots of truly serious things to depress a person and here I am talking about sliding into depression just because I have nothing to do! But I guess if a person has a tendency towards depression/anxiety it doesn't need to be much to begin a slide one way or another. Thanks for your thoughts.
