I'm sorry to hear you're crashing. Been there... many times. But you need to come to terms with something: depression, BP, SAD, whatever your dx is -- is forever. It's not curable, unlike many other diseases. So it's up to us to manage our lives and manage our difficulties. If your current med is failing, call your doctor and insist that he/she do something - change the dose, switch you to a different med, something! I know this is hard, because when you are depressed, it's hard to do anything to help yourself. If you can, it helps to identify the early warning signs; things that tip you off that you're sliding down. For me, it's sudden, severe carbohydrate craving and becoming more solitary - not returning friends' phone calls, not wanting to see anyone. Of course, this would apply in the future since it sounds like your depression is pretty full-blown at the moment. I sincerely hope you get some help and some relief soon.....
