> But is that your problem right now, Enigma? I'm not in love right now either, I'm alone. I don't have a partner, millions of people don't. I suspect that your depression is not caused by not having a gf, nor would it disappear if you did. Whilst you continue to be severely depressed, it's inevitably going to be very difficult to get a girlfriend. Depression is not attractive, it is not appealing - and don't I know it! I think you need to do all you can in order to get your depression under control. Once you have achieved this, that's the time to start thinking about getting a gf.Well, I started Selly already, took 1 pill the first day, and 2 the 2nd day. I already started feeling better the 2nd day with the girlfriend/sadness issues. I'm pretty well aware you can't get a gf if you're depressed. I'm a fairly good actor though (as long as I could keep the crying from occuring), and could go on a date without her knowing, but of course being in a much better mood, then going on a date (if I actually can find someone) would make more sense.
I don't think I cried at all today, which I'm blaming on the meds, and only required one short nap due to boredom.
I got on a new dating site and canceled the hellish one - match dot com (stay FAR away people, seriously, especially if you are a guy. Take my word for it, and don't even question it. It will only bring you pain). So on my new (free) dating site, I already got hit on by a decent looking 40 year old woman who lives about 20 mins away. Sadly, I turned her down as I just wasn't attracted to her. That's going to be the hard part I'm going to face. There's just this "look" I like, and it usually only comes in the 5-10 years younger than me variety. Everyone who ends up liking me, I'm not attracted to, and vice versa. It's really frustrating.
My headaches are diminishing, the daily ones where I get a few a day, and so is the lightheaded feeling I got after stopping Nardil. But my stomach is killing me. Now my Gastro P.A. thinks I might have an ulcer. Yeah, that's all I need. I got to the hospital for <whatever the test is called> on Friday. I'm still sweating like crazy over nothing, but not much at night. I just went to the store to pick up a new drug and it was cool out, but humid, overcast with light rain, and I came home sweating like crazy. I really hope this side effect goes away, AND, I can work out again and lose this gut.I did email this other women I was really attracted to, only a few years younger than me, but I'm sure, she won't feel the same way, even though the site says we're a good match. Otherwise, I was trolling the site, and really didn't see much I was interested in. There are other sites. Still wish I just had (1) divorced friend (I did, but he's a total unreliable jerk, so I told him to screw) to go to my favorite bar with. I wish Boston wasn't so far away from where I live too, as there are some great places you can go there, and go alone without people thinking you're a freak. It's just too far to drive just to meet women, who most likely live there, or even deeper into boston. I'm not the most patient driver - should have seen me in my irritable-bipolar/manic days. Scary stuff. Not for me, but for everyone else on the road.. :(

> First of all, you need to get a new pdoc. TRD is an exceptionally common problem in psychiatry and all pdocs see patients with TRD. Not many advertise themselves as being 'TRD specialists' but perhaps this is because they consider that all pdocs should have (at least some) knowledge of TRD. Just because a pdoc doesn't call themself a TRD specialist doesn't mean that they won't be able to help you. The most helpful pdocs aren't always the ones who've got the best credentials. You should go to see someone new - and who knows how much they might be able to help you.

Still trying, and trying. They keep promising to call back and never do. We keep playing phone tag. Annoying.
