As a side note... my depression is now manifesting in a new manner.
I've gone from the anxious, fearful, teary-eyed, hopeless depression to the hypersomnia type. I'm usually extremely active and athletic. Right now, I'm glued to my computer because I'm too tired to move. This could be due to my lack of sleep for months. This could be due to withdrawal from Straterra, which is activating. However, based on past experience, this is not the case.
During my freshman year in college I was sooo depressed that basically hibernated. I slept a good 15-18 hours a day and was alllways tired and sleepy. I had slight insomnia, but it was just occassional waking, and would fall back to sleep.
It was my reaction to the overwhelming stress, anxiety, and depression I was faced by my new environment. I actually had no idea at the time, because I was basically a walking zombie. I wish I or someone around me had reacongnized this incredible abnomality. I seriously was in need of an antidepressant and stimulant.
I Didn't care about life. Didn't care about anything. I hated school and everyone around me (distorted thinking... these are the people who are now my very good friends!). I just wanted and desperately needed to sleep at all times of the day. This is how I feel right now.
