Is this depression?

I think I was diagnosed with depression before. I just can’t get myself to get out of bed anymore. I keep trying to motivate myself…my dreams aren’t as enjoyable when I have slept 24/7. There is a blank canvas of a future with many potentials for me, but I feel hopeless.

also whenever I fight the depression I end up making poor choices ie: dating the wrong person, going to the casino, spending money too much or making a mistake and then end up being put down about it. Maybe I should try anti-depressants again? I just haven’t found anything that works.

I seem to have more energy in the evenings but its completely gone in the morning and all day.

Maybe I should start seeing a new psychiatrist? Its not easy to communicate to this one and its only 10 minutes on the phone every other month or so.

Yeah I think I am depressed. I can’t really snap out of it though…and I haven’t had luck so far with anti-depressants. I think its something I will have to deal with until it passes…

It’s really hard to snap out of depression. Sometimes it passes on its own, other times it lingers.

I was miserable until I found an anti depressant that worked. Don’t give up! I’m sure you’ll find one for you!

I tried literally every SSRI and SNRI until I landed on Prozac, and it’s changed my life!!

Thats great it helps you…I was on prozac for a couple months. It didn’t work…when I was on it I felt overwhelmed with anxiety and panic. I can’t think of any anti-depressants I haven’t tried.

actually I just remembered Im prescribed something that is supposed to help with anxiety and depression. I just haven’t been taking it because i thought it was (as needed) but i think Gabapentin might work If I start taking it I think it worked before. It says its for treatment resistant bipolar, anxiety and moods.
