I've been on this drug for 10 months now at 75 mg and I feel great, in fact, I'm hoping to come off of it soon. Unfortunately with the holidays approaching I find myself getting anxious and depressed, last night I cried for two hours, something I haven't done in a long time.
I don't think I'm drifting back into a full-blown depression, but the holidays aren't easy for me, I get a lot of pressure from my family because I'm 26 and single. I have a hard time dealing with being alone never mind the constant nagging and remarks to "hurry up, if you wait much longer your looks will go and no one will want you".
Unfortunately going away isn't an option, I'm forced to go home and spend christmas with my two perfect sisters, their perfect husbands/boyfriends and even more perfect children.
Any advice out there on how to cope - I've thought of increasing my meds but I don't know if that's such a good idea.
