On the flipside, though, regarding what tiddly said about not being able to feel happy, I AM able to feel happy, laugh, have fun, feel motivated (when I'm not at the office  ), all of those things. I just seem to have less and less patience for stuff lately and am frequently feeling very overwhelmed. I think rather than antidepressants, I need a couple of cleaning ladies and a nanny.

 Alrighty, you're in my thoughts.

I felt like that alot and thought it was depression, turns out it was my thyroid. I was completely exhausted and crabbier than I care to remember. Get some bloodwork done and do what you need to do to feel better no matter what it is. There is a little pill you can take when needed which worked well for me because I didn't want to get hooked on paxil, I think it was lorazepram? |

Hope you and your dr. figure out what's going on, AT.

Having gone through something like this lately without the ability to take meds yet (doctor orders), I'd also suggest to have your thyroid levels checked.

I know this should be obvious but I'm going to say it anyway... Please, if you feel you (general you, this is in no way meant for anyone specific) are a danger to yourself of anyone else, diall 911. That said, I hope you all find the help you need. Some people just need talk therapy. I started out on meds and now see a therapist once a week and a P-doc once a month. I have been med free since August. I would go back on meds in a heartbeat if my P-doc felt it necessary. |

 I don't mean to hijack this, but was waiting to see what people said, too. I've felt this same way for a long time and am just starting to think it may be depression. But I feel guilty, like it's just me having a bad attitude and that I should be able to shake it off, but I can't. |

| AlrightyThen | That's my issue, Squig. |

I have taken note of that as well. While it is worse during PMS/AF time, it's been hitting at random times of the month as well. I'm 2 weeks away from AF right now. I called my doctor, just waiting for him to call back. Thanks everyone. |

Can you look back at your calendar and see if it coincides with your cycle? My pms got bad a few years after DS was born. I ended up taking generic prozac two weeks of the month. It works amazingly well. I had a hyst last year and still have ovaries. I started taking 10 mg daily vs. two weeks a month just because it was hard to track. Again, I can't stress how much of a difference that low dosage has made. I hope you feel better. Oh...get your thyroid checked, too.

I've been on meds before, paxil, zoloft and lexapro. I know what to expect and I don't know why I am trying to put it off. I don't like myself right now, don't like the way I act and the negative attitude I have about everything. I hate faking nice and happy.  I'm going to call my doctor now. |

The fact that you don't ever feel "good" is something that stands out to me. I have gone the last 2 years without medication and I just kept slowly slipping downward, so that my irritable/fatigued time was increasing and my ok time was decreasing ever so slowly. I just went back on medication because I decided life is too short to just be getting by and not really enjoying anything. I really encourage you to talk to your doctor and to be open to the idea of medication, or whatever he/she might suggest. I fought medication for the longest time so I know the feeling of not wanting to be on it. |

That's my thing. I don't like the idea of taking meds when I don't feel bad all the time. I am also scared to death of my sex driving decreasing even more than it already is.

My only issue would be taking a med all the time for something that doesn't occur all the time, but people do take preventative meds all the time. I say talk to your doctor. I hope you find a solution. |

A couple of weeks. That's the thing... I go thru this every couple of months or so. Get in a funk that lasts a week or two, then it goes away. I'm just sick of getting in these moods. Nothing has happened to set it off. They just happen. |
