Me, too. About 3 weeks ago the depression started lifting and in the last four days I have been gearing up, not sleeping (was usually a nap plus 12 hours)I can't figure out what happened, but something happened on Sunday, Oh, I remember, I got really depressed, my brother called and tried to 'fix' me with suggestions on how I should live my life, then monday, I couldn't get back to sleep at 4 am even with sleep med that has been working... I have been controling my activities to try and keep from getting depressed, or letting the crazy desires to do things get away from me. I have a promise to spouse to think about things for weeks before I do anything...I turned the ringer off on the phone. Talking here has helped me articulate what is going on and I have learned an incredible amount. You are not alone, thank you.
> I have a history of bouts of depression and anxiety (hard to know which drives which), currently have been feeling lethargic, want to sleep much of the time, yet also feel anxious, VERY TENSE, with obsessive, racing thoughts. I don't want to do anything (except go on the computer, seriously), I don't look forward to anything, I sometimes get irritable/edgy/angry, I feel antisocial and I don't want to leave the house. These symptoms are debilitating. Needless to say, I'm trying another round of meds, but wonder do others feel similarly, to the point of STAYING HOME most of the time, CAN'T WORK?
