Kev, you are withdrawing from effexor. What else are you taking, or what are you planning to try next?
Evaluating/drawing conclusions about your life is not a good thing to do when you are depressed. I know I know, easier said than done. I TRY to tell myself this when I am depressed, but it is when I am depressed that the existential questions seem most important.
But keep exploring a med combo that will work, and then you can begin to develop plans to rebuild your life.
Geez why do I sound so pollyannaish? I guess I really am starting to feel better. Or maybe I am trying to convince myself. The truth is, I have also been grieving a lot lately about how damn bogged down my life has been from this disease, how much it has dampened my potential, my goals and dreams. It pisses me off.
It is a lousy place to be, what you describe. I hope connecting with all the wise people here (I really am impressed with the smarts on this board) will help. I have found a lot of incredible information and support here.
Stay in touch.
