I have only just been able to get an appointment with a T organised because they are all away on holidays.But it is not till next week.I am completely frustrated because I have all this shit inside my head that feels like it is going to explode before then.I don't know whether to scream cry laugh or what.
At the moment my whole life is feeling completely empty and meaningless.I am struggling to get out of bed in the mornings unless I have to be somewhere.I was prescribed Prozac about 4 weeks ago but it does not seem to be making any difference.
I am self employed so I decide when I work.The problem is I have no energy or enthusiasm to go and work so I am sabotaging my own business.The bills are adding up and I am not doing enough work to pay them.I am sinking rapidly and my air supply is almost out.
I am feeling really depressed at the moment, I have no energy or enthusiasm to do anything.Nothing interests me anymore
I just feel completely empty and drained and I don't know what I am going to do about it.The light at the end of the tunnel has a blown bulb.

gs I understand. I had a get to know you meeting with a counselor but it is two weeks until our first real counseling.

And I hope you have someone around you that can help you with that. Working at the restaurant takes my mind of it for awhile and then it is back. Maybe you should try work? Keep you mind occupied?

I hope that helps you.
 
Been there. It gets better with time and help. The last time I fell into depression it took several weeks before I could see a T and the whole time was a downward slide.

Hang on. Have faith. Keep hope. Worse comes to worse, go to a hospital emergency room and have a good cry for the nurses. That tactic saved my life once.

I'm in deep depression too GS. I hope you get through it as do I. I'm on medication as well...but it doesn't seem to do much. The anxiety pills seem to help a little bit...but thats about it. My next appointment is next friday with the Therapist...I hate going. I got an appointment with the doctor tomorrow for my anti depressants and what not. This probably isn't helping you much, but I'm in the same boat as you are. If that helps :) We will make it through...it will take time, and patience, but we will make it through.

Just to let u know, I have barley eaten anything lately...for the past 2 weeks. I have lost 15 pounds because of my depression and pills. So I know what your feeling. I don't want to get out of bed, and I sleep constantly. We will all get better though, I have a newfound hope...

Best of luck buddy, and my PM is always open if you wanna vent to me.

Hi gs,

Been there too, I lost jobs and generally messed up my life. Prozac usually starts to work its magic between two and four weeks. When I used it it took almost 5 weeks before it helped so there is still a chance that it will give some relief. It worked very well for me, I have been off it about 6 years. The one great lesson for me was that depression was not part of my personality. I had lived with it so long that I thought it was just who I was and that I would have it forever.

I know how hard it is to just get out of bed in that state. I could stay in bed for days at a time. For me the more I gave myself a hard time about how I felt the worse I would feel. I found treating myself gently and seeing any little thing I managed to do as a victory stopped the downward spiral.

Hope the prozac works for you if not there are other meds, seeing a t will help in the long term.

There is light at the end of the tunnel, I know I would not have believed anyone who told me that back then but it is true.

Take care,

Rustam.
