I've been dealing with a deeper depression lately. I mean, I'm usually depressed, but I'm more depressed than normal. I'm not sure but I think the medications aren't working as well. I have a PDOC appointment next week which I will bring all this stuff up but he usually makes me wait three months before a change so I'm not sure the appointment will actually do anything. I am forcing myself to go out and be with friends, last night it was a movie with a friend, tonight it's dinner at a friend's house. I really don't want to be around people but I know that its good for me to be. I can get distracted for a while from all these painful emotions. I'm not sure if it is situational (switching T's) or if it's just that time when the medication stops working well like it always happens. I took a day off of work last week to sort of relax and recharge and not put so much pressure on myself and that helped but I can't do it every week! I see new T next week also. I've seen her once. I'm trying to do all the self-care, self-help stuff that I know to do but it just stinks. I'm tired of feeling like crap. The depression is just eating away at me.

Not fair you're feeling like this. Great job of keeping focused on creating a new you.

My advice is, create a routine and stick to it, but it's also OK if things take you by surprise, throwing you back to the start.

Note to self: everyday is a new beginning.

Thanks everyone. I see the PDOC in two days and T in 1 day. Hopeful for some relief from these painful emotions.

I am hoping the Pdoc and new T can help. Sounds like you are trying things to fight the depression. Love and hugs to you.
