Any suggestions....

Pretty down today, wish I could cheer up.  Dr. put me on a low dose of antidepressant recently, in addition to my anxiety med, which is really my problem, so I'm sleeping too much, not really doing anything, gaining weight.  The few people that are left in my life all have big problems, nobody around much, so pretty lonely also.  Also, I'm getting older!!!  If I wasn't depressed before, NOW I am!!


I know I needed a little boost, but I don't want to sleep all day, I was never like that anyway.  I'm going to see my counselor today, hope she can cheer me up or give advice.  I'm sure there's a lot of you out there like this, if you all have ideas, let me know, I don't want to go down this road, it doesn't get any better.

If anxiety is your main problem maybe you don;t really need the antidepressant, the two combined could cause all the tiredness.
Talk to your counselor and she what they think. I wish I had some better advice for you but bot sure how to cheer myself when I get that way....best of luck and great big hugs

Yes I have to agree with Jean, maybe not the right mix of meds. How about walking, getting out, make a routine of it twice a day. I feel so much better after a walk! Gentle Hugs! Brooke
