> Coming out of depression is a crazy up and down ride, last night my mind was going crazy I swear I saw sparks coming from my brain, too much thinking. It kind of surprised me because I haven't felt that way in a year since starting the antidepressants...all teary eyed and not being able to sleep.
> So my point is I guess does everything just come together eventually? Or is it a rollercoaster ride forever?
****I was wondering the same thing. Part of it is our reactions to things, ya know? We can try to look at some things a little differently so they don't effect us as much-easier said than done-that's been my new year's resolution for years! I got to a point where I stayed away from people so I wouldn't be effected by anyone in any way! But with the meds. NOW I feel better-today at least-but for me it changes as I have hormones, and we live in a wild world and things effect me and I just try to deal with them as best as I can at the moment. Trial and error, over and over with everything, ya know. My moods are more even now though, than ever. I have ptsd and so my emotions were especially disconcerting for me much of the time-crying and feeling down about all the troubles of the world all the time-feeling too sensitive. With the combo. I'm on now I feel the best I have in awhile but have a ways to go yet in getting back into the REAL WORLD---you know working, etc.
