Not sure how much more I can take. 
I’m taking my meds, but meds can’t help with this.
Is it stress from the new job?
Yes, it is.

Still struggling I assume? Is it getting any better?
Nothing is getting better, and the stress, depression, anxiety is just compounding everything.

I feel this on many levels.
I can deal with the pain in my back to an extent, but this other ■■■■ makes me want to ■■■■■■■ hang myself. I’m not saying I’m going to do it, not at that point yet, just saying that could be in my future if things continue to go the way they seem to be going.

that’s not even good. We were already talking about your better plan b weren’t we?
hey. It took me the longest time to deal with my depression. I’ve tried like probably 10 different meds to get it right but ended up with just one. That was some hard won wisdom that fight!
I suffer from serious depression as well as schizophrenia. Postitives are the least of my problems…depression is my big symtpom and it’s hard to control. Zyprexa helps me with those but a different ssri namely effexor works well for me but because I came off it it takes a lot more to do that job…
It’s just an indication about what is out there…please. Talk to your doc and sort it out. It’s crap. There’s no easy way around it but there’s plenty of choices and I’d suspect one to work! You just have to be patient!

Yeah, I did make a thread about coming up with a better Plan B. I don’t know, though. I just don’t know how much more I can take. @rogueone I don’t necessarily consider this a medication issue. Wellbutrin works pretty well for me normally, but pills don’t fix everything, can’t take away my problems and alleviate my stress.
Mate…it’s worth the fight. It’s not normal to feel like that and that is the indication.
Time to sort it out…I feel like I’m always on a trigger…I’m just balancing on that tipping point but keep those meds up despite the side effects which cruel me!
It’s worth the effort!
I just got this image of you back at your old job, flirting with a coworker and getting paid more. Is that a possibility - would they be missing you by now?
I might be able to get my old job back, but it doesn’t pay enough to pay all of my bills, even if I do it 40 hours/week. I always needed my teaching income to help with that, but I gave up my teaching hours for the semester, can’t get more until January. I have to clean out first, anyway, something I’m doing but it takes time. By “clean out,” I mean I sometimes smoke cannabis, and getting rehired at my old job would probably mean submitting to a urine test again.
I already know who my trainer is going to be today, and she is one of the bitchiest, if not the bitchiest, techs in the pharmacy. She’s going to expect a lot more out of me than what I can deliver, and that is going to stress me out even worse.
so how much time until you’re cleaned out? Aren’t you in California?
I live in the Midwest. It will be probably at least 3 weeks of abstaining before I will be able to pass a urine test. Four weeks if I want to be sure of it.
so you can ask about your old jobs back in 3 weeks? Is that plan b? Can you make it 3 weeks?
Yeah, I hope so. I’ll see what happens. If I quit my new job, though, I’ll never hear the end of it from my family. They don’t all understand this kind of ■■■■. I kinda feel like I just have to keep working until I get fired.
Can you take some L Theanine @freakonaleash I am so sorry 
I’m very skeptical about supplements. I take a multivitamin, but other than that I tend to view them as crap. I suppose I could look into l-theanine, not sure what it’s supposed to do, though I’m thinking the thread that used to be pinned to the top of the list of threads said something about it helping with positive symptoms.
