    • An okay day

      Mood November 17, 2008 7:59pm

      I made it through the day. Most of it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. That's worth something, I guess.

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      After being diagnosed approx. 5 years ago, I realized I've suffered from depressive episodes ever since I can remember. I've gone through some psychotherapy, but can't find a therapist I can access long-term. I feel as though meds. just masks the problem and I want to deal with the underlying issues. The trick is that when on meds., I don't feel as though there's anything problem. When I'm not on meds., all of the problems are too much to handle.

      Treatments

      Celexa Somewhat Helpful
      Not currently on this medication.
      Lexapro Somewhat Helpful
      Seems better than Celexa.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      Trazodone Working / Worked
      Works well, but the side effects are troublesome (dry mouth, lethargy). I don't take the prescribed amount as often as I should because of the side effects.
