Forgetful:the same
Sad/hopeless: 50% worse
Unmotivated: the same but at times have moments of wanting something done and feel obsessive aboit it for a day or so then it usually fades
Irrational thoughts: 50% worse, I feel like everything is going to go wrong
Not sleeping well: New, have nightmares or am not in a deep sleep
Moody/sensitive: 30% worse
Anxiety attacks: 20% more often, where I expierence the feelings of pressure on my chest, and lose control of my emotions and thoughts

When exactly did all these symptoms get so much worse? | | |

Well the week I stoped cymbalta was when everything got worse, but I guess that was expected and then since then its been like this with some days being worse then others. | | |

So the drug was just clearly suppressing those things.
Can you describe for me again the Sadness, the Hopelessness, the Irrational Thoughts, since those things are so much worse. | This thread continues beneath the following ad.

I feel like most of the time my sadness and hopelessness is in result of knowing something is wrong and not being able to overcome it.
For a example I always enjoyed creative thinking and now I have such a hard time concentrating and taking my mind to a place where I can think creatively and freely.
Instead my mind gets distracted within thinking I will get obsessed over one aspect of the problem and never come up with a solution. Or any background noise even if it is faint, will distract me.
While I am in thought or trying to think I begin to scratch my neck my face and this leads me to breaking out in hives which I forgot to mention as a symptom. I don't even realize I do it until I am in pain, and will have made myself bleed.
Instead of being inspired or enjoying my thought process I stress and worry. This is what I mean to by irrational thinking I will debate something so small back and forth in my head, or I will think something really bad will happen if I don't figure something out. It is very hard for me to make decisions, like I just keep searching for the right answer.
I feel like this is why I am irritable and become unmotivated because it is such a struggle for me to come up with a solution or decision without driving myself to anxiety.
I think some of this comes from being a perfectionist but I was all my life, and I never seemed to have as much trouble as I do now with obsessing over everything I care about. So it is very hard for me to find happiness or satisfaction in things I do, and I feel like this is why I am feeling depressed. | | |

What is it exactly to be a perfectionist?
Rather than telling me what you do or what causes it, just describe 'sadness'.
How is it you can get distracted easily, and yet also become obsessed over one detail?
Can you give me examples of this thought process?
Describe more on feeling something is wrong - what is this feeling, where is something wrong, what does it mean that a person feels this? What could be wrong with you, wrong with anyone? How does being wrong affect someone?
Just so you know, you have provoked a new line of analysis for me, so I am trying to work out if it is going to be valuable to pursue it. The more help you can give me here, the easier it will be.
Most important - what is this like for you? I cannot empathise in person like I would in my own clinic. Somehow I have to 'get' you over an internet forum. |
