>>That’s what I need to do is build a life while I’m not depressed so that when I am depressed I will still have it to fall back on, and maybe keep me from getting deeply depressed againAntonio,
Thanks for all that you shared. I'm really happy to read that! Are you working? If not, can you go to vocational rehab? They are helping me get new skills so I can start working again and get off SSI(disability).How much Depakote have you started with? Are you able to take a nap during the day and/or sleep better at night?
It sounds like you need to tell your pdoc straight up everything that you take so as to not have any interactions.
I now understand why you take the stims due to your past meth addiction. I think depressive people who also have PTSD crave stimulants.
I know I do. I also have PTSD due to an abuse incident as a child.I'm kinda confused about your long term plan. What do you think will happen? Is'nt ECT safe? Why would anything happen to you?
I hope you keep talking to me and others on this board, I don't know how old you are but it doesn't mattter. I'ts never too late to have a better quality of life.
Write soon,
Amy
