Me too. Especially the one with the psychiatrist.

Thanks - have been seeing a psychiatrist for meds
After a couple of years or so on the same meds, they stop being as effective. That's why we're trying Cymbalta.
I am more cyclothymic than bipolar (rapidly cycling, less extreme mood swings). I tend toward the depressive end of the scale most of the time. The Cymbalta did trigger my hypomania - but I'm hoping once my body gets used to it, it will keep me on the higher end of the scale but not as far as hypomania.
I'm going to give it a while longer to see what happens. Many thanks to all who responded!
My psychiatrist says I need to get a divorce
I never thought this would happen to me, but after 3 visits, my psychiatrist says that I'm wasting my life and my husband's by staying in this marriage. DH hasn't fallen out of love, but I married for the wrong reasons and life has gotten stressful and I've been so depressed I wanted to die. This MD says my marriage is a goner and I need to face it and get out. These are terrible economic times to try to go it alone, and one of my problems with my marriage is that we have not managed money well, so I'll come out of it with more debt than equity. And what a terrible time to try to sell a house. Yuck.
Oddly I found somebody with a townhouse with a room to rent and a separate bathroom near my work. It would cut my commute down to nothing, and I really wish I could move right in and get on with my life. So I guess the psychiatrist is right, but am I up to all the work ahead to get out on my own and survive??
No, but my psychiatrist likes that one. (sm)
Prozac wasn't good for me, and Wellbutrin sounded better to me. But my depression turned out to be more situational, so changing my situation seems to be the cure.
