I’m depressed and anxious. I’m possibly bipolar, but my doctor and counselor are waiting for a psychiatrist to give me the diagnosis. I have hypomanic episodes that seem to me like a “normal” person would function, except that I don’t sleep. I spend most of my time in dysthymia and deep depression. You know the kind – the kind where you want to be dead.
I have taken Lexapro and Paxil. Most currently I was taking Effexor, Abilify, and Lunesta. I decided to wean myself off those medications because the most they seem to be doing for me is making me fat and the results don’t justify the expense.
Enough about me. The real fun starts when you meet my therapist…
