First Time Posting

Guys and gals it’s been a rough couple months and today is awful. I feel terribly down and alone. I called in to work and I’m home alone, I feel nauseated and have cramps from PMS, I started Prozac a week and a half ago and I feel no better and I take Ativan which also is only getting me down today. I took Midol and nothing seems to be shaking this mood.

Aww I hope your day gets better it's not over yet. I heard meds take a few weeks to work be patient with results.

Yes. Some meds take as long as six weeks. Hang in there. It’s good that you have decided to post here. You will find support. I pray that your mood breaks and the sun shines down on you today.

When my mood wont lift, it just won’t. It usually will take full on rest as in doing nothing and getting a nights sleep and start a new day. Comfort food helps too.

You also don’t feel well, so rest. Maybe try and pamper yourself. Nothing major, take a nap, hot bath, your favorite snack, etc.

Your meds will start working in a few weeks, be patient it’s only been one. Rest up.

Welcome to the group. I like these days only because I know they don’t stay!!!

I sing. That releases a little serotonin. I’m like Barbara Streisand in my head and a squealing balloon for real😳!

I also watch cat videos which then turn into all kinds of animal videos because that releases serotonin when you smile. I’m not even a cat lover but those little suckers are hilarious and each one will give you a shot of serotonin.

Now if you really need something then type in ‘bulldogs talking’ or ‘bulldogs screaming’. Yep. More serotonin. I’m all about it.

I like to call these call regeneration days. I try not to use negatives to describe anything.

Best of luck to you 💛

My Prozac took weeks to work. Then the dose was increased. Shrink added Abilify and the sun is peeking through the clouds
