Not Functioning --Triggers

I can't believe this is happening this bad again . I only had a few good days. It's just not fair and I know I sound like a little kid when I say that. When my students say it's not fair I tell them that fair is getting what you need not what you want. So do I need to feel so hopeless and suicidal? I've already taken two days off---I really need to get back to my classroom. If there really is a God he will let me die in my sleep tonight.Debbie

Hi Sue,

I'm sorry you have treatment resistant depression too----but it's kind of nice to know I'm not the only one.

Lamictal is one of them I'm on too. Lamictal, Geodon, Respirdal, Celexa and Ambien. He's been lowering my Geodon the past couple of weeks tho. I take that as a good sign.

I'm glad the Lamictal seems to be helping you.

Hang in there, Debbie

I know exactly how you feel & it's a very scary feeling... I talked with my psychologist today & he suggested to remain in the same routine you are in everyday & it will help you get through the tough times, but I told him it's impossible to do that when you can't function normally. I am diagnosed with Bi-Polar I & when I am in the down phase it is like I'm a whole different person & I feel exactly the same about the "going to sleep & not waking up". I am here for you if you need me & please try to keep your head up, it will get better... Hugs, Angie

Hey Sue, just a little bit of hope, but I do know everyone's body reacts differently to every medication. I have been on Lamictal for several months now & have felt better than I have in a long time, so hang in there & hopefully the full effect will come very soon... Angie
