> I have a history of bouts of depression and anxiety (hard to know which drives which), currently have been feeling lethargic, want to sleep much of the time, yet also feel anxious, VERY TENSE, with obsessive, racing thoughts. I don't want to do anything (except go on the computer, seriously), I don't look forward to anything, I sometimes get irritable/edgy/angry, I feel antisocial and I don't want to leave the house. These symptoms are debilitating. Needless to say, I'm trying another round of meds, but wonder do others feel similarly, to the point of STAYING HOME most of the time, CAN'T WORK?
I've been feeling like this for more the a month (feeling better now). The discomfort was triggered by the hot weather i guess (or a wrong med cocktail), reached its peak with PMS,(felt awful) and eventually slowly subsided.
I quit coffee intake (i felt sleepy all the time, taking too much coffee because of that) and i cut sweets too (sugar, cookies, pies, etc....).This is very weird for me, but i actually had cravings for sweet food: i'm trying to switch this habit eating fruits instead.Now i feel better.
I think that you'd benefit from any kind of sports or excercise; adding more vegetable and fruits to your diet could help a bit too.
