Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I really am not sure sometimes what exactly is wrong with me. One minute I am so depressed I feel like I could start bawling. Then another time I am so anxious and stressed that I feel like I have to scream to release my stress. Yet another time I feel like I need total quiet and I get stressed from too many people around me. Then yet another time I feel great, happy with the world, and nothing is wrong.
What is wrong with me?
I am on Prozac for depression but I am dealing with the weight gain side effect of the drug. I'm off to see the doctor next week to find out if I can take a different drug that might not cause the weight gain. I've tried Lexapro but that caused other nasty side effects . . . most notibly constipation. So, I'm eager to find another drug that will help me to stabilize my moods more permanently.
It's weird 'cuz when I first started taking the Prozac I felt great! Now I've been on it for about 2 years and I've been noticing all these other weird feelings. I don't know if these are a result of Prozac not working, or other problems coming to light.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME !!!!!!!!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Have you tried any other meds? If so, what have you tried?
