Hey everybody, I haven't posted in awhile, posted awhile ago, was having some depression problems, and trouble finding a doctor. I tried Celexa for 2 weeks, with some luck, and then my samples ran out.
Today, I realized I was starting to feel completely nuts. I've been staying online for days and days, I can't seem to go anywhere, it's hard to explain HOW I feel, just, irritated, disinterested in things, anhedonia, and everything is abrasive.
And then I flipped out and broke every single thing in the entire bathroom, and shattered all these antiques, and I broke the door with my fists, and then I throw half my things out the second story window, including several thousand dollars worth of jewelry, which is still sitting in the mud outside. I tried to call my favourite old county mental health, they told me to see a doctor, which I've not been able to find, and I keep spacing out to hard to remember to find. I can't remember much why I flipped out, though I recall throwing things until I was physically tired. I was dx'ed with intermittent explosive disorder once, but dunno, nothing set me off. I feel like that all the time these days.
Been sleeping a lot. Not eating at all. Sleeping maybe 16 hours a day. I have no idea what's going on around me, I'm in a daze, I can't snap out of it, everything is completely horribly abrasive...
What's up with going crazy with these rages? I now live alone. My ex came over to get our son and just shook his head at me and I asked him for help and he left. I took my sleeping pills and am going to bed for the night. Tomorrow I need to do something, but don't know what.
I feel like I have no regular emotion but at the same time, am filled with strange ones.

Go back and get some more celexa.
Try to keep the dose as low as necessary
untill other problems get sorted out.Some people ramp up on the AD meds without
dealing with what else is going on.You also need to talk to someone who can
help you sort out whats going on in your
life. Although your behavior isn't normal
there can be things that trigger it.Good luck getting better

maybe you just needed to get rid of the excess energy you built up by not doing anything.
Sounds like you need to get some more celexa, go out and do something even just to put the garbage out, it might make you feel better.Go pick up your jewelry from outside. Tomorrow morning get up, take a shower, get dressed and go to a doctor.
You don't have to feel like this, I have learnt through some cognitive therapy techniques that you choose how you feel. I thought it was crap at first, but then realised it made some sense.
Now when I am feeling really down, angry whatever I try and do something, anything....just going for a walk and getting out of the house helps tremedously.
I really hope you can get yourself out of this fog, please let us know how you're doing...
