Hi Declan.
> Sometime ago, I think you said, that your meds lift you 15% off baseline. So I wonder:
> How do you know what your baseline is by now?It is hard to forget not being able to lift a fork of food from the plate to your mouth because you freeze still for not having the energy to complete the motion.
> And secondly (if it is only 15%), is it worth the bother?
I would not be able to function well enough to live independently otherwise.
> Your depression is not mainly about mood, but cognitive slowing?
I use CBT 24/7 in an effort to reduce depressed mood and anxiety. I am left mainly with loss of interest and motivation, anergia, psychomotor retardation, anhedonia, low libido, incoordination and clumsiness, cognitive slowing, memory impairment, and difficulty concentrating.
> When you say 'dysphoria', do you just mean you feel unwell?
It is a sort of depressed mood with a grayness that you just don't want to be in the middle of.
> I hope this is OK.
No problem.
