hi,everyone.i was confirmed of having aggravated depression about 6 months ago.i was a chef,when i hit my wall !! - i havnt worked since,ive been on citralopram - nasty!! - then fluoxetine - didnt really do a lot,then finally`went on sertraline,which was ok. - i then got fed up,and decided to go cold turkey and come off them.im on day 9 with no meds. - the thing is,when i wake in the morning,all is good,im positive,exited about the future,i have clarity,and a very almost smug,and happy feeling.Then at some point later,in the afternoon say,i could be watching family guy for example,laughing at stewie,when whilst im half way thru a laugh, it turns unto a cry,in an instant. - no future,no clarity,im on mars again,not speaking to my family,or children,im very angry,very irritable.and its like that for the rest of the day.the following morning,im back on cloud 9!!
I this depression,or could it be manic depression? - because i am so happy and content,then so utterly depressed,but this happens eveyday.i hope someone can advise me,and if it sounds like a could have manic depression or just deppression.
thanks for taking the time to read this,im going deeper now,and am going to chew on a diazepam.thanks,mike.
