A page in the diary "The S**t in my life"

should be in bed sleeping, but wide awake. I've been having trouble sleeping lately. Think my body clock is outta whack from working night shift.

I've been really teary, usually just burst out crying over something so insignificant. Not sure whether i should go back on meds or just give myself time.

It's hard to know whether the depression is getting to much or whether there are extraneous variables involved.

And i don't want to talk myself back into depression either- gees it's hard to know what to think.

with depression i find it hard to tell if it's reasonable to cry for certain things or not.

Hi esp
I can relate to what you've written.
I have been teary too - it comes and goes. For whatever reason, all these negative thought come creeping in..you know - things from the past that I thought I was okay with - suddenly I am crying - bawling -over them again. It is all part of this dreadful illness I guess. Sadly it is hard to control at times.
All we can do is hang in there.

You need to get that body clock back working properly and I know that is hard for shift workers but something must be able to help you sleep.

Crying - a good thing for the soul - gives you some endorphines but I with Gyps on keeping the crying diary and discussing anything you notice with your doctor. Also talk to your doctor about meds if you want to restart them. Perhaps you might need a small dose to stop the crying and help with work and sleeping.

Go Esp!!!

Hi Esp, Just wanted to wish you support, hang in there, its a roller coaster ride coming off meds, or it was for me. Keep strong, if you are still able to handle day to day things, like work and looking after yourself, then you are probably doing O.K. But if you are finding it difficult to do the things that used to be easy for you, keep an eye on this, and perhaps speak to a doctor or counsellor. I had a crying patch when I came off effexor as well, uncontrollable crying, I knew that it was related to the meds, and how I was feeling as it was totally unrelated to anything in my life. Not sure if that helps at all, take care ESP, thinking of you, From Riles.
