i have been feeling pretty low… don’t like doing much of anything and work is a struggle… he said it’s cos i miss him but i doubt that explains it… light therapy is kinda helping but it wears of.

And I know this sounds really inconsiderate cos he has been unwell all this time and hasn’t even been work but I just so upset that i don’t want to see him
I hope you can see him Saturday. I know how hard it can be to do anything when you are depressed. I think it would be good for you, though, if you’re able. If this doesn’t get better then maybe you should talk to your treatment team about a med change. Take care of yourself @anon80629714.

well i did and she suggested an antidepressant and an increase in antipsychotic. i am not psychotic so i don’t want that… but i have to increase antipsychotic to prevent any mania with the antidepressed. i don’t want to. Plus I like the alternative light therapy option

Yeah I was originally diagnosed bipolar years ago and now it’s sza, bipolar type. I know the APs are used to treat bipolar mania as well as sz. Why is it that you don’t want to take them? Is it the side effects? I know that’s a big problem for many.
to be fair i don’t have any side effects at the moment that’s unbearable or noticeable to me… however to increase the anti-psychotic when I am not psychotic and to add an antidepressant when there are alternatives i can try first… i think i’ll take the alternative before i take the med change for now… I am not anti-med but i want to be on less meds as possible.
if i absolutely have to take the med change i will have to though but not yet i haven’t given light therapy a chance

That’s understandable. I believe in taking the least amount of meds possible. I hope the light therapy works out for you. Stay strong!
