This post concerns depressive issues in general .... I wrote awhile ago. My new M.D. thinks I might be bipolar, with more of a unipolar presentation (and prescribed Topamax to deal with the anxiety, irritability high-end stress at the top-end). This is my second week. Can't tell how it's going. I do seem a little more lethargic. But good grief, I'm still so depressed, I just wish -- I just wish this depression -- my life -- this grief -- would end. How do the rest of you hang on? I'm a single mother with a 16 y.o. child. Were it not for my son, I'd probably just fall off the ends of the earth. To-date I've tried 11 different drugs .... I'm about ready to call it quits, and don't know if I can hang on through the next six weeks until my next appt. to meet with this new guy again .... Suppose I should call to give him an update .... Anybody out there with treatment resistant depression? What can I do? I've tried New Age therapies ... prayer ... drugs -- prescribed, and -- well, recreational.
I'm tired of this.
So tired.
