Wondering what the point of trying to talk to a therapist or anything would be anyways. I mean I guess I still will on monday or something, I am awesome at procrastinating. I mean there is nothing they can say to make me feel better.

I've been diagnoses with Major Depressive D/O since childhood. Most recent diagnosis is upgraded to Bipolar Type II . Also socially phobic. So much for the introduction.

Check in today = moderate depression comes and goes every 30 minutes or so. And moderate anxiety constant. I really want to self medicate with ANYTHING! But I quit drinking and smoking, the psych meds killed my libido - so no sex, and I'm trying to diet! WTF! No wonder I'm depressed :rolleye

Welcome to PC, Gary290!

It sounds as if you have a lot on your plate. I hope you'll find the forums helpful.
Actually, quite a few things you mentioned should actually make you rather feel better than depressed. I can't say much about the libido, as I have usually shied away from intimacy myself so I won't be able to comment.
However, I find not drinking (much) alcohol (which I used to do quite a bit in the past) very liberating and not smoking and having a healthy diet might contribute to making you feel better. I would see these changes as very positive aspects in your life that can let you feel more in tune with yourself and the world.
You might not feel this at the moment, but I think you will eventually experience it.
Again, a warm welcome!

I went out to my friend's strip club last night and had so much fun, drank and smoked but now I'm crashing really hard. I can feel my brain chemistry shifting back to the horrible place and the thoughts coming back already and I feel like I can't stop them. I'm not sure what to do. Just hang on? The crash will pass?? I thought going out to be social was a good thing? Why am I thinking of killing myself again?

Hi Lillylillie: For me, drinking is great in the moment, but then the endorphins crash and I have a depressive period. I guess that's why alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. I eventually gave it up for that reason. But I love going out for coffee with my friends. Try drinking lots of water to flush the alcohol. I'm sorry you're thinking of killing yourself. This will pass. Please keep posting and talking. It will get better.

Lillylillie, hold on...try sleeping...give yourself time for the brain chemistry to right itself.
Welcome to PC Gary290.

Today i am all over the map...sad, lonely, depressed and feel like crying but tears will not come...itchy, distracted, lazy and...not sure i make a difference here with any of my input. Does anything posted by me help anyone? Hard to know if you make a difference...that could be based on feelings regarding the loss of a T for a long time.
Thus i am up down and sideways as i post this.

I've been doing ok, but wondering if depression ever actually goes away. I have been doing some things each day to help myself and my mood, which I think has been contributing to me feeling better. I know that is great and all, but I still have to frequently remind myself I deserve it.

well my friends moving, if he moves somewhere that allows two people to live there, then I could help with rent if I get on SSI. But I don't know what sort of living arrangement he can afford. So basically there is my moms house I 'live' at and I can't stand it there because of her boyfriend and some other reasons. So I'll probably end up homeless....don't even know if I can get on SSI to help pay rent to be room-mates with someone and I don't want to burden someone by staying in their house rent free. I am just not quite sure how to deal with this.

I am doing better today. It took all day but by evening my brain chemistry had recovered.

Still, it bothers me that something so mild, just going out with friends and having a good time and having only 2.5 drinks over 4 hours --just THAT could make my brain chemistry plummet as if I'd done some serious drugs or something. WTH?

Today I am getting ready to go to the farmer's market, then I'm going to make breakfast and try to get in a bike ride before it gets too hot. Tonight my fiancé has an event so I arranged to spend time with a friend so I don't get too depressed being alone.

Lillylillie, the same thing happens to me when I drink even a little. It is frustrating, but I've pretty much just really started limiting consuming alcohol because of it. I am glad you are feeling better and that you are being proactive to arrange to spend time with a friend to prevent becoming depressed tonight.

The weekend was much better than the week. Well, it had to get somehow better - it couldn't have got much worse.
Now I'm trying to be constructive about this coming week of sick leave (certificate from doctor), stay calm, not feel guilty about not being at work (very difficult for me) and not go to work before the end of my official sick leave and risk more upsets at work because of going back too early.
Okay, I hope this is a plan and a way forward.
It's so tough again at the minute but I need to keep struggling through this and fight my way back.

I just want to be numb, good things are happening around me, but I just can't shake off my own stuff enough to appreciate it and really take part. I've been looking for ways to numb myself but I have no money for majority of the things I'd like to do to accomplish that feeling...
