Is this normal?

I suffer from depression. I'm on meds. I take zoloft and resperidone. Recenly I increased the reperidone because of an uptick in the depression. Still not good all the time. Today I got a letter from social security with a lower amount stated than I thought I'd get for early retirement. (I hate my job.) I feel overwhelmed. I had other chores to do today, so I can't even call them until Friday, my next day off. Is it common to feel overwhelmed and not feeling like doing much, during a depressive episode? It seems like when I feel good I want to do things and work well getting a list done. On bad days I just do the minimum and try to take a good care of myself as possible. I used to be able to handle almost anything. Now, not so much.

Hi Artblue,

I am sorry to hear this about your social security. I hope that you can get it worked out so that you can retire early.

Know that we are all here for you.

Take care,

Hugs, Karen
