Originally I was severely depressed and debating throwing myself in traffic. Waking up early, unable to fall back asleep. Nonstop crying. Irritability to the extreme.
I don't have any of those symptoms anymore. I do suffer from anxiety (manifests itself in irritability), but not as bad as when I was depressed and never treated.
I originally started on celexa, then to a celexa/wb combo; then to effexor; then to effexor and wb combo. now off all meds. (still on effexor until meeting with pdoc on tuesday)
I know I have some work to do - took some tests, came out as expected. And, no sign of depression in them.
I could go on for hours: very sheltered as a kid; perfectionist; parents expectations unrealistic; overweight-- binge eating (I am not ugly -- according to others' opinions); never dated; turned down by every guy I ever asked;lonely; etc...
I have a resume a mile long for a 26 year old -- but my personal life is poop. That's what I need to fix.
Ever just want to be loved? Then the weight issues cycle, and then the perfectionism, etc. It's just a big ugly circular problem.
