I am feeling hormonal again. I have a cocktail of negative emotions (sadness, anger, doubt, regret, etc.) brewing inside me. Some days, I feel that life would be better if I was a male, because they don't have out-of-control hormones like women do.

My new medicine isn't doing anything. I also hate how my 20's are going to end up wasted. :(

It is but it's for dopamine rather than serotonin.

this is about wellbutrin from NAMI. While depressed mood and lack of interest in activities may need up to 4-6 weeks to improve, disturbances in sleep, energy, or appetite may show some improvement within the first 1-2 weeks. Improvement in these physical symptoms can be an important early signal that the medication is working.

-10.5

I don't know what to do anymore. My husband had a serious falling-out with his only friend, goddamn quacks f***ed up his meds, and now he doesn't want to get out of bed. Plus, our anniversary is in two days, and I fear that he will be miserable then too. It's supposed to be pleasant out today, but I will not be going outside knowing my husband has depression this badly.

I'm gonna cry now... :cry:

None of that sounds fun.. but perhaps this Anniversary is the perfect storm for breakfast in bed (and maybe some fresh fruit & whipped cream or something) & just staying in, talking, listening to music, maybe watch a date movie if you have a TV in your room. The situation is challenging.. but there's always a bright side & a way to make the most of it vs. the alternative of dwelling on the fact that you probably won't be going out for dinner and dancing.

Better said than done. He hasn't been himself since he left his first job. At that time, he has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He lost his second job when he was institutionalized, and has been on disability since then. He spends most days sleeping in until noon, because his meds were messed up, and the one doctor he trusted has now quit. He has another appointment with a different doctor, but it won't be until next Friday. Honestly, I wished it was sooner than that, because he seems really sad today, and nothing I ever say or do could cheer him up.
