It sucks. It really and truly sucks. I am just starting to come out of it now after a med change and a lot of really horrible days. Hope you see light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Hi...yeah, I haven't really been depressed this whole time...mostly just anxiety and just slight depression. Now, my symptoms are starting to get worse...for some reason and I'm doing EVERYTHING right now....I'm avoiding arguments and stress, I'm spending my entire day in a dark room, I'm eating 3 meals a day (might not be the healthiest foods, but yeah), I'm taking vitamins, my stimulation is very minimal...No TV and limited computer time...I just don't get it. I could understand if the symptoms stayed the same, yeah it takes time to get better...but for it to get worse? It doesn't make sense.
THAT is what is making me depressed...that would make anyone depressed.
I tried Cognitive Behavioral Therapy...I became a space cadet after his first question. I'm not very good with conversations and keeping up with what people are saying...I get overwhelmed easily and just want to hide in the room away from everyone. I talk to my sister throughout the day, just small talk here and there...and I text with my ex-fiance. That helps me feel a little bit more alive. It doesn't fix the problem though
...
I'm considering a med change here pretty soon.
