i hate the fall

its been a difficult fall, so far. My mother in law passed away two weeks ago, my daughter has moved to Banff (tho i am really happy that she's following her dreams, i miss her) and my sweet little dog Zoe got hit by a car last sunday, and didn't survive.

All of that, combined with the fall, shorter days, less sunshine, my mood is so low. I haven't run in over two months. I don't know if i should wait this out or talk to my doc about increasing my antidepressant. I'm still getting up and getting to work, but my housekeeping is suffering, and my off time, i would just rather spend doing nothing.

I sympathize with you as the fall has been getting to me as well. However you sound like you are sinking. I think it is time to see your doctor. The usual blaws have been made worse but the other horrible things in your life and it may just be more than you can handle right now.

I hope it improves for you.

I am so sorry about your mother in law and your little Zoe too.  If you are feeling really down then I would see your doctor...have you ever tried light therapy? I have not but my aunt says it makes a huge difference for her...and this is the time of year she really swears by it. It might help.

I hope you are feeling better soon.  HUGS

I'm so sorry to hear about the losses you have had recently. Oh my, so much and such a short period of time.

I agree with Patm. Give your Dr a call and book some time with him/her/

Hope you feel better soon!

Monica! ((((hugs)))) I would go and talk sooner, rather than later. You know in your heart that things aren't going well. I just read recently something interesting about medication like anti-depressants, and how they are a lifetime of work in progress. A lot of people have to change doses, or change prescriptions, as they find after awhile they don't work as well.

That was just something I read, and I can't even remember where! My thoughts are with you my dear!

My condolences. That's quite the rough patch you're having! I hope you feel better soon. I understand exercise is supposed to make you feel better, though I personally have only felt it twice in the years I've been going to the gym...

If it were me I would definetely talk to your Doctor about how your feeling and let him or her decide whether you need your prescription changed.  You have had some heavy duty losses happen suddenly and may need some talk therapy also.  Sorry to hear your feeling low I hope your feeling better soon but grieving for your little dog and not having your daughter close by anymore is tough.  Good luck.

Hey Monica, sounds like you need a girl's weekend out. Since I can't do that for you, I'll have to suggest you see your doctor.  Even if you don't get your meds changed, maybe your doc can suggest someone to talk to.  It might help you out.  You are going through a lot right now, and I know it's hard to do it alone.

Until then, I'm sending you huge hugs .

Oh Monica I am so sorry. Fall is hard enough for some of us, never mind adding your losses onto it. Big hugs to you my friend and I think a visit to your Dr may help? Keep in touch, we are here for you.

You know, it's okay to just feel the feelings.   Of course you have to know when enough is enough, which I think you have come to the conclusion about.    Try going for a walk, maybe brighten up your mood?    Hugs.
