Fighting Depression

By cgoehring78 Wednesday, April 16, 2008

So I thought it was gone. The depression. I thought I had finally kicked it. But it's like sin. You can never let yourself get so cocky that you think you have conquered it. Sin is pervasive and so is depression. One simple pill too few and the tears come roaring down again. This is hard. I'm exhausted and the pdoc's assistant believes this exhaustion and weepiness may come from the grief I am experiencing due to losing a friend from church and having to put my dog to sleep. I don't think so. Once I cut back on the Effexor to 1/2 of my regular dose I could feel the creeping roots of depression establishing themselves again. I will give the new meds 1 to 1 1/2 weeks as the Dr.'s suggest and pray that the depression is weaker than the medication.

 

Prayers are welcome...

Hang in there kiddo.  The roller coaster will come back up again.  Praying for you.

Ditto to what mom said.  Although, I never believe it when in the middle of a depression it will lift again--really it will.  Take care of your self in the mean time, while you wait for the drugs to work.  Lex
