> Klonopin could be causing the no drive, lack of motivation. What dose are you taking and how often? Is is something you take everyday or just in social situations?
>I get rx'd it to take everyday, but honestly, I take it before classes, and I only have one where I would feel nervous in (other's like 12 kids, this one's 2x/week, with 30 or so, all rather "on my level"/smart enough to critique my ideas).
As for dysthymia, I've had a very happy childhood, and indeed, still am rather happy if I travel, as I recently did, to Europe or some place...
One of the ways I knew I was depressed for sure was, I was constantly tired/craving sleep all the time, but also, things I once took pleasure in I no longer did. But now I do take pleasure in doing the things that interest me.
It's just... about getting out the door, doing the work, not being a hermit in my apartment because I'm so lazy. I suppose being unemployed doesn't help, but I finally mustered the energy to call up a dog walking service today, and sent over resume... I only take two classes part-time.
