Just curious, I'm new to this problem. Started having issues with falling sleep, staying asleep, and getting a full night's rest. Is this a common side effect of depression?
I still have broken sleep despite my psychiatrist increasing my Risperdal to 2 tablets b 4 bed.
feeling invalidated, i thought she understood that depression is an illness. please tell me how you all recover from something so harsh. i feel pathetic now, not ill will depression. i want to withdraw completely because my heart is broken
To other people it may seem we are playing the 'poor me' card. But you know how you feel. A lot of us isolate because of depression. I did it for so many years I lost most of my friends. The one whi… read more
Is it normal to feel numb while depressed? Like, Your emotions are dull?
No, being numb is not the same as being heartless, not at all. Sometimes, we shut down for any number of reasons, and it is self-protective, or a defense against being overwhelmed. Perhaps look at… read more
How do u keep from giving up on finding a partner, when everything they do can be misconstrued as rejection...?
Myself and my fiance have been together for almost 10 years now and he's wonderful as he will chase up my medication for me if I've already tried to myself and gotten nowhere or if he sees that I'm… read more
How big a part has exhaustion played in your illness. Since was 14 I have lacked energy, and doing things like mowing the lawn has been extremely hard to build-up to. At 65 I stopped mowing and shoveling, and my gardening is largely being done by my nephew....I have always felt that exhaustion has been one of the worst parts of my illness, and one of the hardest to manage....what have others found?
I added low dose trazadone and the ‘I don’t care’ thoughts and attitude is gone. A lot more energy
I know no one can say for sure but I just would like to know if anyone else has any of these symptoms? I am going to try and set up an appointment with my doctor tomorrow but Im not sure if she will have an opening or not. Ive been feeling so exhausted the past two weeks and I talked to my therapist about it and he wants me to go to the doctor just to see what she says. Ive been getting a pulsating feeling in my head and dizziness. I get checked for diabietes every three months and theyve always… read more

Give me your thoughts on this medicine? Please
Took my first dose for severe anxiety
I have this med but rarely take it makes me really drousey
I don't consider feeling sad about something bad that happened depression. That is a normal response to something. To me depression is feeling bad when I don't really have a reason to. Or feeling too bad about something that happened. Too bad for too long.
What causes that? Why do I react differently than other people?
I talked with several Psychiatrists and psychologist over the year's and my final answer is they are all quacks. I had a lot of issues growing up and just like many of you the anger and the pain… read more
Lately it seems like I get more depressed in the evening. I may be having a good day all day then when the day is done it seems like depression comes creeping up on me seemingly for no reason. I was just wondering if anybody else has that problem.
It happens to me that way alot too
Hard to describe this but I mean like does anyone feel numb at times but just carries on with daily life. Like as if you don't want to do anything. You feel nothing but no point explaining to anyone knowing they won't understand as they haven't been through depression and that?
