New depression

[Angelwings]

Yesterday I felt angry for no reason. Today I feel the most deep depression I've ever experienced. I have been in bed for 5 hours. I think it might have to do with the Lyrica I just started, but I also just started Seroquel and Remeron, so I have no idea what's going on. I'm not suicidal (of course, because I have to care for my son) but I would like this to end. Does anyone else get tired of fighting to stay alive every day?

@Angelwings i am sorry that you are going through this, yes there are many times when I am tired of fighting to stay alive

I’ve had something like that lately but with a few nights of good sleep have recovered. Try to squeeze in little ways to self-soothe and take care of yourself in between caring for your son. And it never hurts to even pray a little or put your hand on your heart. Best wishes. -dogma_vat

Since I am not a Dr, but would venture to ask, if you have only been on these meds a short while, is there a possibility that the meds are contributing to your feelings of depression... ??? In the sense of being lethargic, of foggy brained, or simply no energy? Are you feeling sad along with this? Would you mind sharing a little more what the depression feels like?? you don't have to if you would rather not... perfectly ok...

I believe it is a new med...the question is WHICH ONE. I feel like my body is heavy, I want to sleep all the time. When I am awake I want to die (but love my son too much to do that) and I have flashbacks like they're going out of style. My therapist almost put me in the hospital today. She said I was, "Gravely disabled."

The frequent flashbacks are killing me. My body is so sore and stiff. I am not sure what to do.

Then possibly find a safe place for your son to stay, and check into the hospital... if the meds are contributing to this, you absolutely need to be monitored and hopefully taken off of them, safely... thinking of you and hoping you find a way to get help and your son be safe so you won't worry about him... let us know.. OK? Sending energy to the Universe for you to be led to safety...
