Been trying to post with no success. Things have been harder as of late. Almost seems like an annual thing, me losing my mind like this. No doubt seasons getting colder causes an increase with my depressive symptoms. Lately, these days I'm not treated for depression at all. It's been kind of left to manage itself. Or, in better words, left to be managed through coping skills and a "can do" attitude. Sorry if you can hear the sarcasm. It really was my decision to get off medication and I don't think I made the wrong decision.
That's where I'm at a crossroads. I went back to a pdoc Monday, I don't know. I suppose I'm realizing more and more that in order for me to go back to work, I have to be able to get out of bed. Working is something I need to be ready for since I'm in the process of being able to work. I need to work and working requires me medicated. The medication they're giving me is what you'd use to treat mania, so I'm not sure if these will help my depression at all, but I should trust the doc, right? Something's telling me not to take the meds. To keep them out of my body and from screwing with my head. Meds haven't helped me a ton before and I'm apprehensive anyway. But I just feel like I shouldn't take them, like I should just put them away and leave them alone. The doc ordered me a shot, 30 day shot, of ativan. Haven't gone to get it, the idea scares me so I'm even more apprehensive there. Can't make up my mind because there's nothing to make up. I don't want them but I know I need them. So is life.

A 30-day shot of Ativan (lorazepam)?! Ativan in pill form had a powerful effect on me; it would just about put me to sleep. Others, however, have reported Ativan had no effect on them.
