My sincerest apologies to @Headspark and the forum

I am so sorry @Headspark for posting garbage on your thread and lashing out.
I am feeling out of sorts a bit today with my depression returning.
I have increasing irritability today.
But that’s still no excuse.
Hope you can forgive me.

Hopefully I’ll be fine but to be honest I’m concerned @Leaf.
My depression keeps coming back, it doesn’t go away even on Lamictal.

I see my pdoc in 3 weeks.

Hopefully I don’t get worse.

Can you do self care stuff, to destress, until you see your pdoc? Self care is different for everyone. Examples:

  • Watching funny cartoons
  • Going for a walk
  • Baking a yummy treat
  • Taking a warm bath with bubbles or soothing smells

I hope you can get some relief. Remember to take care of yourself. :blue_heart:

I know what it’s like to live with unresolved depression. It’s like a nightmare. I spent a long time not getting out of bed except to go to the bathroom and grab something to eat. We’re talking years. Antidepressants didn’t come close to getting me out of the bottom of the well. I just wanted to die. I kept trying to end my life. I know you can’t take ads alone, but can you take them with a mood stabilizer that would stop you from going manic?

No I can’t take ADs @Leaf

Too risky.

Thanks @Blossom and @Leaf

I’m trying to take care of myself.

Today I pushed myself to go to the store with my father.

Just out of curiosity what dosage are you on for lamictal at about 150 mg it started working but it took months to get to the proper dose

My case is a little different.
My psychiatrist wants to keep the Lamictal dose very low because I’m also on Depakote and there’s an interaction between these 2 drugs.

The Lamictal levels in the bloodstream are doubled and tripled when Depakote is on board.

Hugs, @Vertigo. I hope you can get things straightened out again. You are a good person and I hope you can start to feel good soon. I know how hard you are trying.

All of this mood stabilization stuff is captivating! Never knew there was so much to it. I aim to learn more about it. Fascinating!

We’re on the same lake @Vertigo just different boats. I’ve mouthed off to people on the forum before when I wasn’t feeling well. We are a pretty forgiving bunch though huh.

Today I feel horrible but we’ll survive.

Here’s to you and I getting off this stormy lake.
