I've been having an "all over negative feeling", and I can't tell whether it's the Parkinson's, depression, anxiety, a combination of two or all three of these causes, or something else. It's as if my brain is feeling increasingly burdened by the rest of my body.
It may just be a continuation and redefinition of the "mind-fog" that I get during down periods. Also, I've managed to alienate my "support group", so more fear is added to the mix.
Isn't it wonderful how this disease takes over one's life? It's a powerful lesson in humility.

It is hard when this condition assails us in so many ways, physically and mentally.My suggestion would be try to keep active, tough though that may be, and get your Parkinson's specialist to review your meds.
In recent weeks I also had a negative feeling, didn't feel like doing anything, passive and a lot of sleepiness during the day. Because I don't use Levodopa yet (a neurologist doesn't think it's necessary yet), I started with mucuna, but that had no effect on my mood. Then I tried melatonin and it worked very well for me. That is my experience with 2 weeks of using melatonin, almost no more sleepiness and much better mood. I use 5 mg just before going to bed.
I've read that you shouldn't continuously supplement melatonin so that your body keeps the impulse to produce it itself. In the meantime I don't use it as often anymore because my neurologist thought I was ready for levodopa now.
I hope you get some relief and feel better. This disease takes a toll. Are you taking anything for the Parkinson’s or the associated pain etc? It turns out my doctor put me on gabapentin. This had a trifold effect on me: pain relief, numbness and tingling reduction and a mood elevator. I know we’re all so different and something works for some and not others but I might inquire with your doctor. I say that and then I think, pills, pills, pills with all there side effects and toxicity but we are just playing with balancing for ourselves and our own individual needs. What a tricky weird position we are in, trying to find the right cocktail of drugs, supplements, food, exercise, sleep,………
