Awww, StarStrike, from what I read, you are a sweet girl, you are very sensitive to everything, and that's okay, I know I was and am like that, but it will hurt you. I'm sorry about having a dad that doesn't empathize with you. I got that a lot as a young woman, that if I had said or told them what I WAS really feeling, they would have thought I had nothing to be depressed about, and sometimes the ones who should see what we are really going through are BLIND to it....I'm so sorry, You are welcome to Pm or something if you like.

I'm stuck, so tired, not sleeping well......

Rose, I think its okay if you could just treat yourself to something, I hope I'm not budding in on anyones posts... I don't know most of you but I do read a lot here.

Hugs to you all

Have gotten down very low. I was doing so much better, but I've kind of lost that. Now I have to drag myself and make myself do the things I should. I've accepted that that is the only way to fight depression. I'm not even succeeding at doing that. These downturns pass, but they keep coming back worse and worse. I guess I have not paid the dues it takes to earn some stability in life. I'm afraid I'm just going to get worse. Sometimes, I just wish I was dead. (no real +SI, though.)

My big wish is to move somewhere secluded and check out of society...be alone and hang with my dog she thinks im awesome and she never lets me down.

Oh, you do have dog already. That's good. I'm checking out all your posts and want to adopt you. (I'm trying to be funny - don't get scared - and I'm old.)

oh im not scared and that did make me chuckle...heck im old too...somedays i actually think i feel like im 100...want a good bit of irony? My last relationship when my gf and i split up...well she came to my house and left me 8 puppies on her way out the door. So thats how i got my dog...she might as well be a therapy dog she seems to be my steadfast support system for when i get treated like crap.

Don't understand how yesterday I was so confident and positive and today I'm feeling down in the dumps again, unenthusiastic. Very frustrating. I actually thought maybe the increased dose of Prozac was helping or something. I guess not.

Feeling good the last couple of days. School is in full swing and I am feeling confident. Maybe it's because I am forcing myself to do all the things that I need to do. It seems to be helping me approach things more positively.
Thanks for this!

Upping the Latuda did not work, so this morning I doubled my Prozac per my psychiatrist instructions. Sure hope it works. Still quite depressed.

I was in the hospital (again). I realize I'm really lucky with this particular hospital, after what I've read just on PC. Maybe not that much to do, but definitely more freedom and great staff that do care.

Back on the meds I was on before, but at lower doses. I'm surprised they work. My psychiatrist said he didn't want to change them: either I stick with them or stop them. I'd much rather stay on them. Tiredness wins out over suicidal depression any day. And I realize now just how low I was. I don't think I've ever been consistently that low.

Doing okay.

Today I'm in a holding pattern...holding onto too many things from the recent past, and finding only depression when I look at that time as compared to now...

I have been doing well since Saturday. Saw my Psychiatrist on Monday and my Lexapro dosage was not changed, but now Lamictal has been added to my schedule.

I have the week off. I've got a bad case of cabin fever though because of the cold. I did go out for lunch today though.
Now, back to my regularly scheduled afternoon nap.

Thanks for this!

I had a peaceful long night's sleep. Woke up feeling like I never got any. Wanted to stay in bed but knew I had to make a phone call. Couldn't bring myself to make the call as I was too nervous so I procrastinated about it until I came back from college. Phoned up, got put on hold for fifteen minutes before hanging up and now I'm really mad at myself, I keep letting insults slip towards myself. I can't do anything right and because of what I did my dad got short tempered with me. Argh! I just don't want to do anything! Because everything I do is a mistake. I should have slept in and missed college in the afternoon.

Called my therapist for the first time in over a year and set up an appointment for tomorrow. I spent most of the day with my family watching movies and I got a good nap today, so I'm feeling well rested at least.
Thanks for this!

I just sent an email to my doctor so I can bring up the topic of depression and anxiety with her.. I have only seen her once before, for my physical about 3 months ago. I'm nervous about initiating this conversation. I also need to start looking for a new T. I just wish that it didn't take this much of an effort to get anything done. Oh well. One step at a time.

It's been a hard night tonight. I had to go to a visitation for a young woman that I knew. She finally lost her battle with suicide. I really had a hard time because I know what she was going through and I fight the same battle myself. RIP, friend.
