mood update

Apparently, missing a week's worth of running in February is a bad idea. I got my long run in on Saturday, 8.5 miles. I feel better. But as …

heyy thank u for respecting me :)

I got you in the civility blog - kind of ironic how the self proclaimed beacons of civilities that responded to your post missed it - too funny. I hope the job search is going well.

Wow. Way to go! Good for you. In your quest to avoid the 'knee-jerk' reaction you spoke of...you succeeded at reassuring me that I indeed am the pathetic loser I fear. Thank you. Really. Thank you. Oh God, now what do I do? I guess now I'll just down all 120 of my Klonopin because Daily Strength is my world and without all the sympathy and support I receive here, I'll be so completely lost. I do nothing but sit here all day long, looking for anyone to bite. I'm so scared and alone. HEEELLLLLLLLPPPP!!!!!!
Hug
Thanks so much! I'm so excited.

Support Groups
Close Psoriasis
Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the SkinChronic psoriasis on the scalp, left elbow, and knees.
Treatments
- Hydrocortisone Not Working
- Clobetasol Working / Worked
- Its like magic. Highpowered stuff though. Can only use it for short periods of time. But it keeps the scaling away and my head doesnt itch anymore.
Close ADHD / ADD
I've lived with the knowledge that "something was amiss" about me for as long as I can remember. I didn't learn that it was ADD - inattentive until after I turned 40.
Treatments
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depressionstruggles w/ chronic, organic depression management
Treatments
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- Stopped working after 3 years.
- Effexor Not Working
- Worked well, but the extreme, adverse sexual side-effects outweighed the benefit.
- Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
- Didn't work any better or worse than Cymbalta.
- Prozac Somewhat Helpful
- One of the first meds I tried. Minimally effective.
- Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
- Works for a short while, but repeat visits are costly even with insurance.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- Not much they can do for this. But keeping them informed helps them to understand better.
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Produced uncontrolled, aberrant mood swings.
- Lamictal Too Soon to Tell
- Psychiatrist says Lamictal is approved for offlabel treatment of depression. Careful initial monitoring required due to a slight risk of the lifethreatening StevensJohnson syndrome.
Open Seasonal Affective Disorder
It's that time of year ago. Days are getting shorter. Despite all the meds, I know what's coming.
