It has been over 2 months that I have had this depression. It is driving me crazy. Even taking a shower seems like a big deal. I try to do a few things a day.

I am in therapy and was just recently diagnosed with Bipolar. I also anxiety and panic attacks.

It seems like there is a brick wall stopping me from doing the things I need to do.

I am so frustrated. It's been about 2 weeks since the doc started me on Risperdal. I have taken prozac and xanax for a long time. Nothing seems to be working.

I feel horrible inside.

All I want to do is lay around. That is driving me crazy because I am usually such an active person.

Do any of you seem to hit that brick wall that stops you from doing things while in depression?

Thanks for listening.

Jan

Jan, I'm so sorry you've had such trouble with depression for so long. Yes, I hit that brick wall that keeps me from doing things - even taking a shower. Sometimes it takes a while to get on the right combination of meds. It took me a long time. You might discuss this with your pdoc. In the meantime, you will be in my thoughts and I hope that you feel better soon. Take care and keep us posted. Hugs, Rain.

I have hit that brick wall many many times

As Rain said it takes time to get to the right combo of meds I myself thought they would never find mine but they finally did and it was all worth it I thought I was never going to get better and sometimes i did get better only to hit that brick wall again and again BUT I finally got better and stayed that way for the most part I now only have one episode a year and that is in the form of mania I do not have any depression at all, only what they call normal At one time, I was told by my pdoc to file for disibility I did and of course was turned down the first time and before I could file again I started to feel better I now work a full time job I just have to be careful and not get too stressed out as this could trip me into mania and I have found out this happens about once a year Please do not give up hope Hopefully soon you will also be on the path to recovery

We have all been where you are now and it is very difficult to hang in there I am glad I hung in and now instead of hitting brick walls, I just stub my toe once a year

Good Luck to you and please keep us posted and we are here to give you as much support as we can GiGi

Thanks for the advice. It's been over 2 months since I became depressed. I have been on the meds for about 2 weeks.

I have been trying to write back to y'all but it won't go through.

Jan,

My heart goes out to you. I will keep you in my prayers. I think most of us here have gone through this. It is a long road. My crashes lasted around two months before I finnally got the right meds. Hang in there.

Huggers,

Rose
