I've been having a hard time lately
fine in the morning....then early evening comes and I'm a friggin mess....this depression is lasting forever...come on mania already...

its been months...they keep adding more pills but nothing works for more than a few hours....its hardest I think on the people who love me and have to see me like this...depression really hurts everyone, doesn't it?

1. It's a vicious cycle
I don't take pills for it anymore, I just wish everybody who wants me to take pills would leave me alone and take their own damn pills. And go to their own damn therapists, and find out for themselves how many therapists don't know shit about shit.

I don't think there's anything wrong with me. But then again, I'm not one who's surprised at how bad the war turned out to be. This country is fucked because of too much optimism.

Anyway, all I'm trying to say is that people who really love you will still love you even if you are in pain, and that I hope you feel better soon.

4. sorry you're going through this.
i've actually been on both sides now- it's hard to watch, hard to go through yourself- i don't know which is "easier." both are draining... it's hard to watch someone you love go through hell...although it's harder to know when you're causing that hell to someone else. I don't think this post is helpful at all... sorry. I thought I had somethng to say= but i guess= it's just the nature of the beast that leaves everyone drained and hopeful for the time when the meds will work as promised.

i'm so sorry- hope you're feeling better soon.

5. I always took my meds at lunchtime to get me through
but at my worst times it would only get me to 8 or so. How late do you need to go? Any kids or anything?
