Right, I think it is a great idea to see your Pdoc this week. Personally, I actually attempted suicide last summer before being put on a mood stabilizer that has SAVED my life. So please do hold out hope that meds can help. Sometimes it gets frustrating to think that meds can help. Especially when it takes so long to find one (or 2, 3 or 5) that work for you. I know that I suffered through depression/mania for over 5 years before I finally found the right drug that helped me. And I constantly hope that it doesn't poop out on me.
But, if you really have been feeling depressed for a while, then it'd be my educated guess that meds aren't working to their full advantage. So give them another try. And another. And another. Because I PROMISE YOU that when you do find your Prince Charming of medication, life is bliss. And I truly believe that "he" is out there searching for you, just as hard as you are searching for him.
I'm thinking about you Emme and hoping that your "prince" comes soon
