Hi Cass,
So sorry to hear that you're riding the wave of a bummer right now. I get real down around Thanksgiving and Christmas, not real sure why. Some of the others have commented on alcohol being a possible reason why, gotta jump on the bandwagon on that idea. Alcohol really does tend to make things worse (an alcoholic's point of view, so take it for what it's worth). Amphetamines and alcohol always made me extremely depressed and I'm not sure why I did it, could be a possible cause for you too. Holidays are a real tough time for a lot of people, so know that you aren't alone. Do you have any local 4th of July events in your area? Maybe it might just help to get out and go to one and see how it makes you feel. try to get out and do something. Sometimes the best times (and most fulfilling ones) are the times we spend with ourselves. Be sure to go somewhere for the fireworks! You never know, your phone might just ring when you least expect it and it will be someone who doesn't have plans either, might turn out to be the best 4th you've ever had! I hope everything turns out well, and there are a lot of people here who will be thinking of you.
XXOO,
Greg> I have been hit with a bad depression. I can't figure out if it is because of having nothing special to do on the holiday week-end, or having started a new med or some other physical reason. I have been drinking lately, too. I recently added Dexedrine to my list of meds which are Celexa and Seroquel. Could Dexedrine cause this? I feel extremely lonely and sad at the moment. No one has called me to do anything on the 4th. Everyone is busy with family or travel plans. Whatever feed-back you have, I would appreciate it.
