Hello everyone,

I have been on here before, but I hardly ever post. I am 24 years old, and my depression is SO bad lately. I have missed work the past 2 days, and it is looking like I am not going to make it in today either. I HATE my job, and want a different one so bad, but I am trying to hold off to get hired on full-time at my second job, which is at a radio station, and I LOVE that job! I am waiting until May to try to get hired on full-time at the radio station because that is when I will be done with my bachelor's degree!

I am starting on Wellbutrin today, and am curious on what you guys think about that medicine. That is the one of the meds that I have not tried before. I am really worried that I am going to get fired because I have not been at work this week yet. I am just feeling SO down, and getting out of bed took 2 hours this morning. I am just feeling so tired and exhausted. I am dating a wonderful man who is amazing and so patient with me. I don't know how I got so lucky to be with a man like him.

I just need to vent and see what you all have to say about the situation. By the way, I am NOT suicidal at all. I have so much to live for. I am just feeling down and want to sleep all the time.

(HUG) I don't know when things will get better, but I hope they will get better for you soon.

Thank you everyone for your replies to my post. I started Wellbutrin on Wednesday, and I feel GREAT!! I have only noticed a couple side effects from it, but I can tell it has definitely made a difference. I am SO happy that it is working!!

Thanks for posting here. Your post answered some of my questions. I think I have it too. But I cant get in to see a therapist for a few weeks. So crazy. So what does one do in the mean time? I am going to call my regular doctor tomorrow for an appt and request the same drug or something similar. I just cant go through this feeling for weeks until I can talk to someone.
