I've been fighting depression for the last 3 months and its made me extremely tired. Always exhausted, dont want to do anything i use to do. Dont want to talk to anyone etc. I'm on drugs for depression and anxiety, the depression one doesnt take affect until 4 to 6 weeks out. What I'm wondering is......

    Hi, there.  Yes, depression can definitely affect your feelings toward people who are close to you.  If your medication hasn't taken effect yet, don't make any big decisions until you feel better.  It does play tricks with your mind, you don't see things objectively.  Also, your fiance could be triggering something from your past that you aren't aware of.  I'd just take things easy, don't over-analyze.  You're lucky he is so supportive of you - that's worth a whole lot right there.  Are you in therapy?  If not, that could help you sort things out, too.

     

    Glad you found this web site and hope your medication kicks in soon.  Let us know how you're doing.

    I was on Wellbutrin for a number of years and then a close family member became ill and still is far from being well. I became more depressed and anxious. I was taken of Wellbutrin sr and then tried Zoloft 6 weeks. It did not help at all. I have a problem with insomnia also. I am now on the generic of Celexa and I think it has helped a little. I sleep somewhat better. My doctor is having me come in every two weeks and has been wonderful to me. I also take 1/2 mg of xanax as needed. Usually I take twice a day so am taking 1 mg a day.Its a hard thing to go thru and I keep praying for relief and will remember you as a pray for all those depressed. Take care

    Thank you for all your replys! I appreciate the prayers and hope for relief for everyone else. This has been a life long problem and it only seems to get worse the older i get! It seems to be ruining my relationship cause deep down i know i love him but my brain keeps saying leave! Along with the depression and anxiety im now having physical problems that no one can seem to diagnose. Fun fun! Thanks again for all the replys!

    I think even being able to talk or listen to people this way does help. You don't feel alone and know so many people suffer from this and many are silent with it. Its a mental disease and we are so much more able to listen to physical aillments and these to me are worse. Its hard to get the right meds and then the time it takes for them to help seems endless.
