I don't have anxiety or depression in my family. This depression is me not wanting to face the challenges that await. I fear life. I fear making decisions. I know that I have had episodes in my past....
It is a combination of meds and anticipation of going back to school. I know it's something I need to overcome myself, and there's nothing the doctor can do. Meds take time. Maybe increasing them,...
I hope they call and can get me to another doctor soon. I know the depression is ramping because I have to go back to school. I fear that I won't be able to do my job. That my depression will make me...
I called my hospital to change my doctor. They said they will call me back today. I have asked about switching medications, which I have done. Nothing seems to work to make me feel better. I know...

I can't remember any hyper mania or wen times where I wasn't sleeping and feeling like I could get a lot done. So I wonder if I have bipolar or am just severely depressed and drug resistant. It's...

I do see an individual therapist weekly. He's helpful, but he can't help with the chemical problems now. I think if the chemicals work, I have the supplements to fight. I work out, eat healthy and do...

This whole summer I've slept way too much. I'm not sure if it's the meds or the depression. I sleep like 8 to 11 hours. Sometimes I wake up early, and have anxiety. So take an Ativan to feel better,...
