Strange to say, it runs out of uummph about midmorning. Sounds even to me like I'm playing the "yes but" game. We've tried all these things in different combininations and only serzone worked.
It worked in a mild but steady way to keep me functioning well, laughing, spontaneously asking friends over for dinner (not since we moved since we don't have any friends--long story about minister having dual relationships) and generally being a "normal" depressed person.
Now, I generally feel OK until I take my meds and then the physical stuff takes over. I truly don't want to keep taking Klonopin just to breathe! It's getting worse and since I'm not a Christian and the kids are gone it isn't the holdays. Traditionally we don't spend much at Christmas so there's not that pressure. Lack of snow and the mild, sunny weather is terribly bothersome though, and adding to my irritability and sadness. I hate the sun.
So, more disciplined with the walks, Mitzvah therapy, attention to diet--full fruits, veggies, vitamins, water, chicken fish whole grains etc. ahead. Continue Topamax, sleep, good books, music, a couple of parties to go to, writing in my journal, this board and maybe Psych Central, finish acupuncture, stop griping so much, check out Planned Parenthood for volunteer opportunities, don't smile if I don't feel like it, and cut down on activities I really dread, can't stop one. I can do everything but the volunteer stuff right now (and maybe the griping) but it's a day at a time process.
I'm thinking of changing pdocs if she won't go with the weaning off plan, at least while I have the insurance. Oh boy. That sounds irresponsible, doesn't it?Thanks for your suggestion, Redscarlet.
