Getting bad again.

[Duneandy]

I’m getting bad again. I’m slowly transitioning from one depression med to another. I’ve decided to stop talking with my number one helper. I’ve replaced her with an ex from 17 years ago that I really shouldn’t talk with. She is not a bad influence. Just her relationship with my wife is complicated. I don’t know who else to talk with though. My relationship with my wife has caused my coping skills to go out the window. I think I am at the worst I have ever been because I am now hiding how I really feel.

sometimes we think we can go back to what was an old comfort in the past ....but people change....and it's not a good idea to cold turkey quit taking antidepressants, you can have a severe backlash reaction of intense depression because of it. I would suggest you talk to your doctor.

I know someone that did that and experienced intense feelings of electrical shocks. I know that my doctor knows what is best and I am doing what she tells me. However I am just feeling very down right now.

glad your seeking doctors help and hope you feel better soon....the ups and downs that come with depression are an inevitable, and we just have to ride the waves best we can unfortunately....
