Hi, thankyou for reading post i appreciate the help and support. I am getting a little confused,frustrated,and lost now. Its been 18 months since my medication was changed from effoxor which i was on for 5 years. I have various stresses which seem to have major impact on my illness, but i dont appear to be stressed at the time which is odd it seems to affect me later ie a few weeks. At the moment i am weeaning off sertraline after being on it 14 weeks at 150mg and it just seemed to make me worse. I was recently being started on mirazipine but it made me too drowsey so i abandened it and awaiting to find out what doc is going to try next. I feel like a lab rat. in the 18 months i have gone from not loving my fiancee to breaking up to getting back together to loving her then back to not loving her. when i dont love her i feel depressed and dull and upset inside, sometimes i cry as well or feel like it. I have lost interest in sex as well and most other symptoms that go with depression. I have been to numerous councilors and hypnotherapy to find the route of the cause and to find no answers only the fact that somewhere under all this i still love her. I have done loads of cbt and no effect. I get irritable easily,stressed easily,tired,eating allot,crying inside and outside,ruminating 24/7 thoughts of not loving her,feel numb accept sadness.
I dont know who i am anymore or what is what,I zone out allot, lost interest in things. sometimes happy to be alone. lack energy sometimes.
I am saying all thses things and most of it is all the time but i have had to really think about how i am if that makes sense. people say you look better or seem better. but inside i feel like i am being tourtured with my thoughts and feelings. When i broke up with fiancee i was devistated and i get sad now when it crosses my mind. All i keep saying is that i want to be how i was before this started. I forget things easily and dont seem to be able to think clearly as if i cant make out exactly what i am thinking if it makes sense. just feels like i have fallen out of love. last week i had a day that seemed like i was back to normal i started to feel again etc. next day nothing all disapered and i went back to torture. They say dont concentrate on thoughts then they say attack them. which ever way i do it nothing helps. Cant even feel anything during sex and struggle to keep a erection etc. I feel like a shell like have mental black outs. anyone else experience any of this for this long etc. just looking for reasurance and similar experiences really. because i dont know anymore.
thanks for reading sorry it was long.
