Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 , what you describe sounds like clinical depression to me. I know, because I suffer from cyclical depressive cycles (every 3-4 years) which require medication for a few months, to correct my brain chemistry. I always feel like I've walked out of a tunnel into the sunlight, when they kick in. I don't mean to sound flip, but one of my mottos is, " Better living through chemistry! " There are some wonderful medications out there. There is no stigma in asking for a little help getting over a rough patch. I'm sure you are not lazy. Obesity is NOT a character flaw! Call your PCP TODAY and tell him/her what's going on, and think about asking for a psych dept. referral. Depression is vastly under diagnosed and under treated.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I had a down spell a few years back after a "death steak" our family had - not to mention a new-er baby (he was 1) and a not so great marriage. It was the first time I was on an anti-depressant and I will have to say it taught me what "normal" felt like. I took it for a little over a year and really learned to control my emotions and not let them control me. I still have relapses every now and then - but nothing like what got me on them in the first place. But when I sink into a not so happy place, I now know the feeling and know its not normal and now that I have to be mindful of it. Before - depressed was just a common state of mind for me and I didnt know there was anything else. I definetely love "Living Better Through Chemistry" because I definetely am!
