> Wondering WillowI've been depressed for eleven years so far....ups and downs. I've been psychotic but i recovered from that. I suffered from residual symptoms for a few years (mainly anhedonia).
I eventually fell in the "black hole" again last winter. Took Imipramine and felt better (still anhedonia though).
I've been feeling sick in the last four weeks or so. I think the wrong med cocktai (mainly sedative) played a role.
Saw a new pdoc who told me to switch to effexor: that's what i'm doing at the moment.
Still no effects though. I hope that works 'cause i think i can't handle another downward spyral anymore.
The thing that makes me feel real bad it's that i lost myself trough the years. I used to have strong personal opinion on everything, i felt my strenght, i still had faith somewhat (i'm not talking about religion, i'm talking about believing in something so that life has some meaning for you).
I'm not doing any talk therapy at the moment: it's so difficult to find an empathetic therapist!
