Barely making it by...

Hi,

I don't really know what to write here... I've just been really unhappy lately. I don't know what's going on... maybe I need to try a new medicine. I'm currently on Prozac. I just feel like there's no point in my trying to do anything and I feel like there's no point in talking to people... I'm really lost. I feel like everyone else around me is so happy and that I have no where to fit in. I feel like I've lost myself... If anyone has any encouraging words, they'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jen

Hi Jen -


you are not alone in feeling this way. and I believe that a lot of people who "seem" happy have their own set of problems and issues.


do you have a current pdoc and/or tdoc? It sounds like both would help right now - discussing whether a change of medication would be helpful, or maybe just an increase in dosage. and i have found therapy to be very helpful in times like this.


this is a place to post your feelings, vent, whatever, so continue to post and let us know how you are doing!

peace and love,

Thanks all. I'm going to try to make an appointment sometime this week with my doc... I was seeing a tdoc, but she thought I was ready to stop seeing her, but I may talk to her about starting up again. Thanks again for your help and I hope you all had a great Christmas!
