Thanks Dinah, that helps. I think I'll get a prescription, in the summer the weight gain seems less of a worry than in the winter time, because I find the terror much more difficult to handle personally than the depression.
Yeah, its happened every year for the past
7 or so. I'm curious myself as to why.
I never really liked the sunshine. The terror has been relatively recent. Sometimes I think its because I don't really have much of a "self"
that runs on automatic, and maybe its just that there is so much more day to get through in the summertime, and that scares me. It could be that simple, or it could be some complex chemical reaction. I thought perhaps it was from too much serotonin, but I'm on Wellbutrin now, and I can feel it happening already. Its definately the sunshine though and not just the cycle, because I can feel my shoulders drop as soon as it starts to go down. I can recognize things again.I read an article recently though that said people with B.P.D have a higher suicide rate in July.
I found that interesting because all my attempts have been in late July.All I really know is that the stress from one wasted summer adds to the panic in the next,
cause I'm reminded how I've done nothing with another year except get through it.Thanks Dinah.
