How I Feel

[Sazza]

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I've been around the forum. I am really struggling at the moment. Initially I had a good response to my antidepressant, but it only lasted a few weeks.

Now I actually feel nothing, I am merely existing at the moment. I am just sleeping my life away, I feel a total apathy for everything. Getting out of bed is hard enough in itself, Basic self care tasks feel mammoth task. I have been like this for a couple of months now with no let up. I just feel like I am in my own disconnected world. I just want to sit in silence and not talk or move, I have cut myself off socially. I have found it hard to reach out here as Its been a while since I've sought online support.

Hi Sazza,

I like your avatar! Sorry that you are having a crappy time. I'm glad you have been able to reach out. Its great that you are doing something about this. Have you seen your doctor about the antidepressant? I know some people find that they need to try a few before they find one that works well for them.

Thanks seagreen, my dose was increased about 10 days ago as of yet not noticed any difference. I know it's still early days. I have been on this one before though and found in past helped anxiety but made me really apathetic which got me down. Think this is what is happening again.

Guess have give it longer but I'm not hopeful. Just feels like it's all about getting through each day at moment. Just really hate that I feel lifeless.
