I'm writing this like a journal entry. I need someone to talk to, and I chose you
! I feel lonely, and I never feel lonely. A new emotion has emerged with this depression. For six or so months, I've been rapid cycling, experiencing mixed moods with a reprieve here and there of hypomania. That's what I'm used to my how my disorders function. I'm in the 4th week of a med change: Geodon replaced by Abilify, and increases in Tegretol and Synthroid. The mood stabilizer change seems to be doing it's job...no more hypomania, and a steady, deep depression. I'm not used to this, I can't function. I'm doing my best to do the survival tips: 1. eat 3 meals; 2. exercise; 3. sleep regular hours; 4. drink 2L of water. It's so hard to exercise, or do anything for that matter. When I can get out of the chair and turn the DVD on, it's not too hard after all. When I'm done, I actually feel better immediately. And if it's cloudy outside, I sit under the sunlamp and feel better right away. This is about all I can do when I'm depressed. From experience, I know it's going to lift. So in the meantime, I've got stuff I need to do--depression style.
