It's been a long time since I've posted.

I'm hurting and tired and so want to quit. My therapist wants me to call my psychiatrist but I don't think I'm that bad. Plus I know I haven't been consistent with my meds during the last few months so I figure I should give that a try first. I just finished 54 TMS sessions. They were hell for a lot of reasons not the least of which due to my very high motor threshold the doc had to crank my powers way up. He was always apologetic about it.

I'm not rally looking for any responses just trying not to isolate and trying to stop looking at unhealthy websites.

I'm just so sad and such a waste.

Hi msboot. Sorry you are having challenges with motivation. This could be a sign your meds are not working and is something your psychiatrist could explore.

I have to watch what I eat because foods I eat can stabilize my moods or exaggerate them. For me protein is essential to mood stability. A high protein some naturally raise chicken or fish (mostly soy, yogurt, scrambled eggs (no flipping - i cut out some or all of yolk) low carb diet with snacks (roasted cashews, sauteed tofu) or meals every 3-4 hours will over time reduce my swings.

Other lifestyle changes that help me are doing yoga, exercises, mindfulness, calm music, and being active on Psych Central. These could raise your energy level but that may not be the problem. Some people find the forums give them the compassion and empathy they seek. http://forums.psychcentral.com

Hi

Not many people in this world can understand what you are going through, but this Forum is a great place to share your feelings.

Hi sounds like you're struggling at the moment. Is it worth calling Pdoc before it gets 'that bad'. You're already being very hard on yourself. Best of wishes whatever you decide.

How are you today? It's a while since you started this thread and I have been thinking of you, just nervous to post again when I posted last- sorry.
I hope you can still find a way to keep going or, even better, a way forward.
I expect you are still in a difficult place so wanted to send some encouraging vibes.

I have lost all motivation. My clinical depression (anxiety & ptsd) drain every ounce of energy & motivation completely out of me. I have been unemployed for 4 months, I quit real estate school after completing 5 of the 6 courses. Some days I don't get out of bed at all. Not even to shower. I simply don't see the point. I have tried eating healthy, exercising, vitamins, nootropics (cognitive supplements), antidepressants, mood stabilizers, praying, yoga, meditating, counseling, equine therapy/hobbies, reading, possible food sensitivities, and just about everything else. I feel like my life is on hold while everyone else is out living their's 💔
