I am SO apathetic!

I don't know if it's the weather, my total lack of appetite, my new job that isn't all that exciting, the meds I'm on or what but I don't believe I have ever been this unmotivated/lazy in my life. Eg; I used to be a demon emailer, writing to friends and family on a daily basis with always something new and fun to say and now I can barely bring myself to say Hello. I like my job and colleagues but I feel bored/disinterested even when there's lots going on and Monday I have to go on a business trip with 4 flights in 4 days and I hate flying and I haven't even thought about what to pack! Oh and as the icing on the cake: my mother's coming to visit for 3 weeks starting tomorrow and I can barely bring myself to vacuum, let alone change the sheets. Euch, what's the matter with me?!

Are you maybe starting to become depressed? I'm sure that sounds like a stupid question, but it was the first thing that came to my mind when I read your post.
I feel for you with the business trip- I would not want to take 4 flights in 4 days, actually, I would not really want to take 2 flights in 4 days! I guess the bright side is that it is a change of scenery that may get you out of your slump and you have your mother waiting for you when you return (which I hope having her there is a positive thing for you).
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Hugs,
Peg

Tegretol, which I usually forget to take
I haven't taken any anti-depressants in nearly a year as I wasn't depressed and my psychiatrist at the time didn't believe in medicating me unnecessarily. I'm afraid to go back on anything because of the side-effects but I have an appt on 26 July with a new shrink.
not sure what the side effects are on that one...I had somewhat of the same reaction you are having, but I was on lamictal.
it really depends on the person and how they tollerate meds...maybe the pdoc can give you a different a/d that you haven't tried .....
be careful and make sure to call them if things don't improve soon !!!

I am sorry you are feeling this way. But it reminds me of when I am going in a downward BP spiral (as I call it) I do the samething. I cut my self off, for no reason. I just dont feel like talking typing or even moving. I try to keep busy when I notice the slum coming. I will get out with my furbabies and walk, I am severly allergec to exercise...LMAO butI force my self to do it and I do have to say the exercise does help me, helps releave some of the stress, I do sleep a bit better. I am no power walker, but we just take a nice stroll for about and hour and I take my ipod ans listen to an audio book. I dont know if this helps but its just my experience. I hope things get better soon.
