I don't know that I've ever posted here, but I'm a little on the desperate side, so I'm gonna give it a shot.
"Holiday support"...I could sure use some...
Let me preface this by saying I have a BP dx (rapid cycling). I do take low doses of seroquel and lamictal. The meds and quarterly visits with the tdoc and pdoc seem to at least be mostly effective for those symptoms. My current struggle is over and above that, however, and I can't put a finger on what the problem is.
It seems to be a very much holiday related increase in depression and it is utterly DISABLING. I've done a little searching. Seasonal Affective Disorder? I'm not so sure. I live in NE Ohio and there are days at a time where the weather is dark and dreary and I don't feel like this. Hormones? I'm not sure how that could be the case if it's mostly isolated to holidays. Granted, the "annual Christmas fight" is simply a fact at this point. I'm not positive that this is related either though. I just wanted to isolate myself this morning, and that was even when everyone was getting along. There is no catistrophic event that I have in my past occurring near a holiday either. I'm at a loss.
Help?!?

Welcome Dawn and I am sorry you are feeling like this currently.
First of all, no, it is not your imagination.
