Yesterday I was very low. Lower than normal. 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.

I get it. Well, when I'm idle, I'm worse. What do you do for fun? I know you're not interested but, try?
TRD sucks. Have you looked into TMS? That's a good option, so I hear.
Personally, I have to force myself out. Sometimes painfully. It's actually very hard. I understand. Push yourself. Even for something short. I take Lamictal too. Idk where I'd b without it. Maybe you need to add a med.
Not what you're looking for?
