Hey all, new to this and not sure of what I'm doing. I've been told I'm chronically depressed with major depressive episodes. Talk about too much of a good thing! LOL. Basically tired of it and what do I do?! I'm taking Cymbalta and have good days but nothing long term. I'm an RN and my worst situation is my work environment not because of my patients...love them, but my Boss called me psycho (not to my face but when she thought I couldn't hear her. I'm finally accepting I have diabetes and will need to manage that, as well as my hypothyroidism. Arghh!!!!!! enuff already! Help!

Hi and Welcome!


Well first off like your diabetes, depression is partly a chemical imbalance that can be helped with meds. I havent heard of Cymbalta but if it is helping to stabilize your emotions then its doing its job.
