In reply to can someone describe agitated depression please, posted by spriggy on October 7, 2005, at 18:50:54
I suppose every agitated depression is different. If I had to define what was, you know maybe, central to my mother's agitated depression I'd say that it was an experience beyond amelioration. Once I accepted that there was nothing I could do to help her things improved between us. I realised that my moves to help were (understandably) motivated by my need to reduce the pain of it all. So I let it wash over me and make me feel awful, having accepted that somehow she was trying to communicate a terrible feeling of distress in oblique nonrational ways. Which meant being quiet with it for a bit. I'd limit myself to a couple of hours a time.
So Spriggy, you have lupus, allergies, candida, is that right? Something physical going on for sure. By the way Mannatech Ambrotose (and anything it's in) worsens my insomnia if taken after lunch.
