i've been doing the following:
Transcranial direct current stimulation for 45min
my prayers to jesus christ to be healed are still in progress
excerise - 1 hourbut it seems when i push myself in excerising, or do something that is psychially strenmous, it makes me sluggish after, i did some yard work, i had the dopamine feeling to get it done, but after it was done i lost all that energy, did the Transcranial direct current stimulation for 45min, it had minimial effect, drink energy drink to bearly keep going
i don't know what happens, but everytime i do a strenmous activity, it makes me sluggish mentally, other day i didnt take zyprexa and was wired, if i go days without zyprexa i will have withdrawl, my nuerons will destablize and begin moving very fast, not manic, but more like irrtible and more prone to snap.....zyprexa give a calm feeling, stable......but in a way makes me feel sluggish
i don't know why i get into such a bad mood, not like irrtible, its difficult to maintain a well-being feeling, its like this dyphoria.....when i was younger in my teens i got in bad moods, it's like everything......i broke away from being dyphoric, and grew some and got new insight, but i don't want that bad mood mindset of my youth to return, irrtible....pessistic....caffeine with dyphoria
i guess i need to do more strenuous exercise, maybe its the way the body adjusting because everything has been slow, did the brain zap, it had minimal effect
no knows the bad feeling i feel.....it has to be somme kinda of nuerotransmitter imbalance, because in my childhood i was hyper but i got into bad moods, it was a nuerotransmitter imbalance.......sometimes my medication has minimal effect, only thing is beliving the man upstairs will blow all this crap plaguing me out
anyone had bad days even on antidepressants?

>anyone had bad days even on antidepressants?
I can have bad days, too. I think that's normal even for people not taking antidepressants.
Even in childhood I did not feel normal or completely ok. I'm trying to accept that I have issues :)
I'm sorry to hear that you feel like you're struggling too much on some days.

Study up on adrenal fatigue. Your symptoms are consistent with it. Not to suggest it's that simple or straight forward, because something else is causing the adrenals to be over stressed.
Bare basics, mandatory in my opinion if you want even a chance at improvement:
Very low or no caffeine.
Very low or no sugars.
Organic fruits and veggies should make up most of your meal, meat should be lean, fowl better than beef.
Rhodiola rosea
Exercise softly, short spurts, gas tank almost empty
Regular sleep schedule
High dose Vit D and C
High dose B vitamins in their pre-metabolized active forms (not the cheap OTC stuff which is not biologically active)
Good multi vitamin/mineral
Avoid strenuous exercise, makes it worse.Could go on and on.
Not suggesting these things will cure you, but rather, provide pavement on the road that gets you there. That said, rhodiola by itself should make a remarkable improvement.
All of these -even as simple as vitamin C - can knock you for a loop if adrenals are weak - so be mentally prepared to do whatever small doses you need in order to tolerate, and then over weeks and months gently increase doses.
For example my dose of Vit C is 1000mg morning, 500mg lunch, 1000mg dinner - but in my bad days, start of vitamin c, I could barely handle 50mg, tiny chunks off the pill, tiny amounts from inside a capsule. It took me a year to get where I am, had to back off a few times, went too fast.
Rhodiola - amazing antistress, anti-anxiety, pro-sleep, anti-depressant, pro-energy, pro-adrenals....but first days or weeks can be activating, stimulating, insomnia, nervous. So while my current maintenance dose is 100mg, it took me weeks to get there starting at 5mg, then 10mg, then 25mg, 50mg, 75mg, finally 100mg.
Anyway take a look at adrenal fatigue. Read the symptoms and see if you think they sound like you or not.

Forgot to mention the moon. Seriously.
Next time you feel unusually bad, go out after dark and look at the moon. Look it up on google. Is it full? Half? Most people have mood reactions on full moons. Trauma rooms and hospitals will verify that.
During my worst of times I monitored what the moon was doing in relation to my moods. Here's how it went. I never actually tracked it in an organized way, but rather, whenever I felt unusually bad, really bad, I would look up in the sky to see the moon - it was a half moon 23 out of 24 months accurate. It was wrong only once in 2 entire years. Pretty darn accurate. Most people react on full moons, so I'm a little different. But it might be worth finding out what your own pattern is, if any, so you can be more in touch with what's happening to you when it happens.
