Normally Abilify does a good job of preventing that from happening.
I mentioned it to my psychiatrist when I saw them last week and they want me to keep an eye on it. I’m supposed to come back in 3 months instead of 6 to report back.
But everything seems pointless.
It might just be the winter weather but it’s never been an issue before.
Just a bit of a vent.
I have felt the same this winter
No idea why its suddenly happening now
Some recent explanations of depression have suggested that it may be “evolutionary” in that there are advantages to the depressed individual which arise from some aspects of depressive symptomatology. While the depressive behaviour of withdrawal from the adverse environment may provide some immediate benefits to the depressed individual, thus making it potentially “adaptive” in the short-term, this does not fit the biological definition of “evolutionary”.
Is Depression “Evolutionary” or Just “Adaptive”? A Comment - PMC.
I hate it when that happens too. I’m kinda going through the same - there’s cause - in my case though. But I do understand the feeling. I keep putting off my studies because of it and then it’s growing a sense of anxiety too.
Aripiprazole doesn’t usually do much for my depression. I hope it doens’t last too long for you - especially to the point you need antidepressants
I get depressed if my thyroid levels are low.
This winter has kicked the poop out of my spirit. I have done my best to stay active and motivated, but it’s hard. I haven’t held a camera in over a month as I can’t see anything that inspires me to pick one up right now.
Best antidepressant I’ve found is mild sleep deprivation.
I wish. I’d be the happiest person alive in that case. 
Are you taking antidepressants?
Nope. I’m not taking antidepressants. I’ve never needed them fortunately.
Drink an energy drink or a coffee. Or distract yourself with something. Watch a movie, for example.
Time for a new hobby @everhopeful
Get your camera out! Learn a new instrument! Read a book! anything really…
Just think two years ago I bought my first midi and started to make music. A year ago, i bought my first guitar.
It is never too late to get on do such things. Get a Eukelele. Cheap and fun to learn and play!
