It will be ok. You're not alone in that holiday thing. Check out the suicide numbers around the holidays if you don't believe me. The elderly croak, the depression prone get blue and the world seems to get heavier. Don't know why! The good news: you're past it. The better news: When the next one comes it won't feel nearly as bad. No guarantees that you won't get blue. I do. It's the damn season. Chaulk it off to that and find a way to laugh at it. I do that, too.
> I am not sure what to do. I upped my dosage around the first of December because I was staying depressed since before Thanksgiving. I think the holidays may have something to do with it as I never do well during them, I think I have always had seasonal affective disorder and this was the first holidays without my beloved grandmother. However, be that as it may, I stayed busy enough that the holidays weren't too bad, but as soon as everything was over, I felt like I crashed. So, about a week ago, I started taking Wellbutrin with Lexapro to see if that helps. I seem to just not be able to get up and do it in the mornings. I get better as the day wears on. But, the bad part is I can really feel the disease lying to me again and putting negative thoughts in my head although I try to push them out. I hope this helps. I am hanging in there. If I have to increase or the Wellbutrin winds up helping, then so be it! Take care and you have helped me alot over the last few months. I truly wish you the best!
