I took a neuropsych test today and found out that I am below average on everything they tested for except for word pronunciation. The guy running my test thinks that it the results are showing what my mind is like during depression and that everything may become a little easier as soon as I can get a handle on it. I'm inclined to believe him. I also believe the medications I am on are not benefiting me. Seroquel was a nightmare. and Lithium is becoming one. I have a splitting headache, nausea and unrelenting depression. Somehow these factors don't bring any consolation to me and seem to drive me further and further down into the void. I seem to still think that I am somehow just a pathetic cretin that really has no use being here and that is the cause of all of this. Even as I write this I am berating myself for not writing something better. I somehow won't allow my problem to exist as it is. Anyway, I have contacted my pdoc about the symptoms and am waiting for a phone call. I wonder what else my brain will be bathed in to bring about sunshine. I am sorry for only bringing you more hopeless news. I hope you all are doing a little better than I am. If you can, have a wonderful day. If you cannot, I wish you the best. I know that it isn't much. But it is what I have.

Depression is so hard to cope with. It steals from us. I have depression at times as well and it sounds like you are in the thick of it. I am glad that you are seeking help and thanks for your kind words. I hope that you feel better soon.

Depression sucks it leaches the light out of your life and warps your thoughts. I hope you find some light soon

I suspect that you and the guy running your tests are right Billtrick, I found that just the constant stress from depression really makes everything much worse including how my brain works even on top of all those drug effects you're talking about. I hope that you can find your way out.
