Hi Jessica. I joined very recently as well. I have been in a really bad funk for almost a year. This past summer was horrible. I went to my psychiatrist on 8/18 and she upped my Zoloft to 200 mg (the max) and added Lamictal. I am just starting to feel little glimpses of "light". Meaning, I feel like I'm in a black hole most of the time. I have absolutely NO motivation, no energy, no happy, nothing. I missed a lot of work over the summer because many days I literally could not get out of bed. It's the worst. Weird thing is, when I'm at work I feel much better. But getting there is really hard. My mind will NOT shut off. Drives me crazy. Are you on any meds?
