Does anyone else feel like this?? Off meds and on meds i feel this way.. And it drives me absolutely crazy, like theres something wrong with my brain.. Im slow to respond, feel emotion, ect.- the sad thing is, I was pretty much like this before meds!! Makes me feel literally hopeless. Cup of coffee only thing that gives me a jolt... sigh..

I know how you feel...I lack energy all the time and feel like I'm moving in slow motion. I've tried so many medications and done ECT, but never have gotten the energy back. People who have worked with me, tell me to keep getting out of my apartment, volunteer, do small jobs, do something for someone else, do exercise even if it's for 5 minutes)---they tell me that if I consistantly do these things my brain will form new pathways that focus on more positive things than negative. It's a real battle to do any of these things and I fight with myself to do them all the time....but sometimes, even for 5 minutes at a time, they do help.
I wish you the best.... frownupsidedown Quote:

I'm like that, I may have an hour a day that I feel ok. I met another doctor and feel good about the "New" diagnosis, and I was VERY apprised that three were many meds I hadn't been given the option to take, (which pissed me off).. atypical depression. I hope you find a mix that helps a little don't give up. It is sick a long process..

I can relate to that. Coffee or good caffienated soda gives me a lift and I can think for a while. Soon as it wears off, back to the slump. When I was on my meds, they did help with that for a couple months, then the side effects crept in and I had to stop taking them cause the effects were worse than without them.
I am convinced that meds are not the answer, just part of it. Stress makes me stupid...I make really bad decisions when I am stressed or anxious. |

I had this feeling all through high school. Much of it is a blur. And I used to get out of body feelings whenever I talked to people. It felt like I was to the left or right of myself. Anyway it got better when I started going out and socializing more often. If you don't do that your brain sort of acts funny and you lose your awareness of the things around you. I would advise against going out with earbuds for that reason.
But for some reason ever since that feeling left I can remember almost all the conversations I have with people now. I don't know where the heck that came from. It might have been from the anxiety but it's kinda weird. Something to look forward to I guess... __________________ "Have patience with all things, but, first of all with yourself." - Saint Frances de Sales |

Yes I know the feeling. I feel as if I am an object just existing in life

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
