My doctor has told me that when you are depressed things seem alot worse than they are...like looking through darkened glasses...dont give up!! I felt that way last week but keep pushing on....I have been on multiple anti depressants for 5 yrs and am currently on 225mg of Effexor...yes thats right 225mg...I take three(3) 75mg pills every morning I dont always feel 100% but I think sometimes we forget how to feel normal after being sick for a long time....like getting out for a walk really does make you feel better and more energized and talking to just one person does give you a lift. Baby steps at the begining....dont rush things...and most important of all...dont feel guilty if you dont get there one day but that guilt also pushes you towards health so in a way its a good thing. Be strong...things always get better...just think of how much better you will feel when this is all over and it WILL be over...trust me.
