I haven't posted on here for almost a month because honestly I was starting to feel alot better. I felt pretty darn good for about 3 weeks. Job was still pretty boring, but I was still fairly happy. But I crashed, hard on Monday. DP/negative/depressive thinking came back. I took off work on Wednesday and slept pretty much all day. It didn't do any good. I am now so out of it, so run down, and my body is achy. I have aches in my legs and my head and arms. Not persisted aches, but "come and go" aches. I don't have the chills or anything, but achey.
I am currently on Zoloft (200mg) and I thought it was really beginning to help. I did have 4 beers on three different occasions over the last three weeks, but my Psychiatrist said that it more than likely wouldn't cause me to crash so hard, so quickly.
At this point, ya know, I am kinna just fed up and really not wanting to live anymore. Sure, the last three weeks have been fairly good, but when I crash, it is horrible. Just plain horrible. And anymore, I can't tell when I am gonna crash. I can't get myself to do anything and it feels like everytime I crash it is worse than the time before. And I know I say this everytime, but I don't know how much longer I can take this. Anyone have any comments, thoughts, reasoning behind why I crashed so hard??
Thanks.

sounds like whenever you drink, you feel worse, and drinking on Meds is not recommended.

Everyone has their ups and downs man at least you have days when you feel ok, use them to your advantage and stay positive because its the better than being negative even if being negative feels like the right thing to do

You gotta' appreciate the ups man. I haven't had a proper consistent up in almost six months. My ups concist of a weekend at best. So keep focusing on the good times, or at least the relatively good times. They'll come back, just roll with the punches.
You know what really sucks though, is that you can't even have a few beers without crashing so bad, sorry but how the f*ck do you explain that to someone?

Kelson, sorry to hear that you are feeling so low right now. Try not to be so hard on yourself. When we feel good it is a wonderful feeling. Everything in life looks so much brighter and happier but when we feel down everything feels like it is just falling apart. Actually if you sit back and look at your situation you may be able to see that if you are have times where you are feeling good that is precious. Enjoy the moments when you are feeling good. When you feel down let yourself go through the feelings, say to yourself well for now I feel lousy but I felt good for a while so that tells me I will feel good again and look forward to the up times. It is important to remember that even if people had no physical or emotional problems they too would have bad days and good days.

I am not an expert but I would think that drinking while on medication is probably not a good idea. One thing I do know is that alcohol can make you feel very down and if you suffer from depression or dp/dr it can make the symptoms worse. It is just a thought but I would leave the alcohol alone. The sun will come out again even though right now you feel like it will not. Maybe if you just say to yourself for now I feel lousy but tomorrow is another day and maybe I will feel good. The body aches you have could be from tension, the alcohol or you may have picked up a virus. Maybe that to is what is making you feel down. Hope tomorrow is a better day for you.
