pretty bad day

[mackydoodle]

Today was a pretty bad day. I was in a decent mood yesterday, and was really low the day before. I’m currently taking Lamictal XR 200mg once daily. I believe it’s probably more for bi-polar mood stabilizing than depression. I had some ketamine treatments at the beginning of the year which had some success, but they are very expensive. I have a virtual appt with my doctor Tuesday morning. It’s especially bad in the winter time or if it’s cloudy outside. I’m in education, and we’ve had the last 2 weeks off, so I’m just looking for things to stay busy. I used to go out for a drive and shop, but even today that really didn’t seem to do much. I feel like I’m at the point of treatment-resistant depression. Looking forward to seeing what the doctor might suggest as next steps. Anyone at this point and have any tips of things that helped them? I appreciate everyone’s feedback and support.

Hello you said "It’s especially bad in the winter time or if it’s cloudy outside." Have you tried light therapy. I use a HappyLight for 30 minutes every day. I know it makes a big difference for some people. I think it would be worth a try. I am glad that you have a doctor appointment on Tuesday. I wish you could afford the ketamine treatments since you had some success with them.
