I am just a wreck today. I'm confused and down and anxious
and jumpy all at the same time. There are a few reasons
why this could be - we (Dr and I) recently briefly tried a
couple of different medications as (in prior post) he
thought we should try something new, but I am sticking to
the "old" regimen. I also think maybe the changing season
(feels like autumn) and other life stresses are playing a
part and the combo has just knocked me on my *****.

Don't know if I'm asking for advice or just need to share
this with someone. People in Real Life would just think
I'm crazy so I'm limited in who I can vent to. I never
happen to have a Dr's appointment when I'm like this - even
if I did I'd probably cancel because I am NOT LEAVING THE
HOUSE.

Hopefully this is a temporary setback. Crap.

i don't have much advice. i guess all you can do is wait. do
you usually feel worse in the fall? if so, you might want to
try an SAD light box.

for what it's worth, i think i know what you're going through,
having been on the med carousel too many times. maybe it's
just reacting to the changes in regimens that's doing it. i've
been leaving the house as infrequently as possible for the
past couple of weeks, myself, as we're trying to get my meds
squared away.

i hope this doesn't last too long for you.

People don't think you're crazy, they just don't believe you.
