Hi.

Basically the problem is this.

The pattern of my depression has always been frequent and fairly mild (Ie. Maybe once a month for about 2 days). But recently it has been less frequent but alot stronger (Lasting for as long as 2 months at a time). I used to be able to handle it but now i can't. I fly off the wall over stupid little things, i get angry with everyone i sleep almost all the time when i am not at work and i daren't even consider going out.

Everything seems to trigger me, the main trigger seems to be news articles about child abuse, although i have never been physically or sexually abused. I just don't understand it. And i seem to get alot of unconcious triggers too, ones that i don't even know i have been triggered untill it hits.

I still don't have the confidence to go and see a doctor. I was just wondering if anybody else has had this happen to them? and if so do you eventually find a way of coping? I was able to cope when the bouts were fairly mild but i am finding that i am loosing control more and more everyday.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards.

Hello tampaflorida

I'm sorry you are feeling depressed right now and that you will feel better soon. Anything going on that you feel like talking about here? We're good listeners!

Your meds may be keeping you from being able to cry. When I was on Prozac I couldn't cry and maybe it works that woy with you too.

To start a new thread, click on "new topic".
