Ah tats
I'm so sorry to hear you are struggling.

Yes, I agree, sometimes we let our Pdocs do a med change and it just messes things up even more !

That has happenened to me more than once .

I hope you and your Pdoc and get something worked out
((HUGS))

My Mom and Grandma were agoraphobic so I guess it seems kinda normal to me to not want to drive in the rain, to other towns, or when it's busy out. It's part of who I am and I never even thought to medicate for it. Everyone just knows that's how I am and don't ask me to drive at certain times of the day, it isn't going to happen. I overcome these hurdles and do go out when I don't want to but sometimes have to take anxiety medication afterward. It's very stressful.

Accept your quirks if you can and talk to your doctor about your depression. That's MUCH more serious and worse then not driving in the rain. ((Hugs)) Do something nice for yourself today okay?

Great big hug for you sweetie.... It sounds to me like you're in a depression..... Do you ever suffer from SAD tats???

This has been a very long and nasty winter... I'm so glad you're seeing your doc Monday

Great big hug for you ...xo

Well I'm stepping outside myself for a while here.....trying to anyway. I have found some craft felt that has been in my house for a good year now, maybe more.....anywho I came up with an idea to put it to good use! I hope!

I like to feel productive, I am a not just fullblown bipolar but a fullblown Capricorn too! I have found some flower instructions online so I started making felt flowers that I am going to be donating to a Children's Hospital.....for whoever wants/needs one. Though I had two boys, I do know that little girls love headbands!!!

I have to think of the little boys too and make them something too. If you have any ideas you can toss my way I am open to them.

I'm still sad but damn it I am trying my hardest to overcome this. I do think I need a med overhaul.....scares the crap out of me because I can and have been SO sad. Thanks for listening to ramble......just wanted to share what I am doing with my friends.

I fear driving also, but have been working on it for about 2 years now and have gotten a lot better. I'm sorry you are having this problem. It stinks.

Good for you doing something positive. I hope it helps you feel better for a while.

Hope the pdoc can help you get your meds straightened out soon.

I'm sorry you are going through this. Good for you for taking action to end your depression. I hope things get better for you soon.

sorry ta hear ur feelin this way tats. there was a couple months there i felt the same ways. just felt numb. took both meds & tryin new things in a new town & still workin on it. rain isnt helpin i think.

thought it was funny ya said ur a capricorn too cause im a leo & a hyper beeper. its great ur pushin outside the box. im tryin all kinds new stuff. i sure hopes it helps ya. ew i bet the girls would like bracelets! or necklaces. what a great thing ta do

Hey deb. so sorry you're doing so cruddy @ the moment. Much love, my sweet.

I'm sorry ur struggling so much right now :-( It's such a horrible, vicious cycle. We all have a purpose, it's just really hard to see when ur struggling so much. Don't give up, stay strong, ur stronger than you think. Hugs.

Tats, it's so confusing and frustrating at the same time isn't it? You sound like you need a day or two to just completely be you in your best mood. I know that feeling, I'm going to pray for you.

Sounds like the OCD is really trying to take partial control of all situations. It's ok to just give up for a day or two, work on your worrying, all other problems will have to wait.

HUGS I feel the same . I wont get into it .

Think of your blessings , 2 great kids ect ...

My Gran is obsessed about me going to places that are, "Awful far away!" And when someone local says, "I'd be afraid to drive far!" Gran takes that as Gospel.

Codependency is a right SOB. I hope you can forge your own path.
