damian, i felt like you seem to be feeling just this last weekend. we can call it depression and/or anxiety, but i also think social and environmental factors affect this mood.
i know what you mean about feeling good some days and horrible others. my last week has been like that too.
i just wanted to say that i can relate and that you're not alone. there is hope. i think you will feel better.
i've been trying to get lots of exercise, to exercise once if not 2 times a day. having someone keep you company and taking you outside (it's awful for me being at home alone and thinking) might help. my husband took me to a cool cafe i liked hanging out at and then to an interesting restaurant with really good jazz. that was the best day i had all week and the best i felt.
i really hope you feel better very soon.
> HI, I HAVE BEEN ON EFFEXOR SINCE APRIL 2005 AND I REALLY CANT BE SURE IF ITS WORKING FOR ME. IT IS NOW INCREASED AT 300 BUT I STILL HAVE LOTS OF ANXIETY AND DONT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. SOMEDAYS I THINK I AM OK AND OTHERS I JUST DONT WANT TO BE HERE AT ALL. MY LIFE FEELS LIKE I AM ON A ROLLERCOSTER AND ITS AN OFFULL FEELING. I DONT FEEL LIKE GETTING UP FOR WORK IN THE MORNING. MY KIDS STRESS ME OUT BIG TIME FOR SILLY THINGS THAT REALLY SHOULDNT STRESS PEOPLE OUT AND SOMETIMES I FEEL I AM TOO HARD ON THEM FOR NO REASON. DONT KNOW WHAT I AM GOING TO DO BUT THIS HAS TO STOP. I TRY TO EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL TO MY HUSBAND AND KIDS BUT THEY JUST DONT UNDERSTAND AND I FEEL LIKE I AM ALL ALONE AND CANT TALK TO ANYBODY. EVEN MY OWN DOCTOR SOMETIMES I THINK SHE IS TOO BUSY TO TALK TO ME BECUASE I FEEL RUSHED WHEN I GO TO SEE HER. I DONT THINK SHE REALLY KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING, OR MAYBE THATS JUST HOW I FEEL. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS HOPE FOR ME BECAUSE SERIOUSLY I DONT THINK THERE IS. ANYWAY I WILL WAIT FOR A RESPONSE FROM ANYONE....THANKS......DAMIAN
