[background: just got back on Wellbutrin 300 XL, Klonopin for anxiety for the past few years, sometimes Ambien]
I had another meltdown today. Uncontrollable crying, repetitive negative thoughts (worry), no desire to get out of bed and shower, and social fear.
A lot of changes are happening in my life and I just can't deal with it. These depressive episodes are always during a "life altering" decision or event. In other words, I don't adapt well to change. Along with change comes fears and anxiety.
I suppose that I am genetically predisposed to depression due to an extensive family history. It surfaces at these life moments.
How can I accept and appreciate the good things? How can I not take myself so seriously? I feel mentally beaten up and on the edge of a virtual cliff.
This older man I was friends with used to inspire that carefree spirit in me. He died about a year ago. I'm over the pain of his death and everything- that's not a problem. I just need someone like him to come along and make me realize that life is not so scary.
That felt good to vent. Goodnight Babblers!

----------> I can totally relate to your thoughts and feelings. I am smack in the middle of a life altering event that I can't decide with way to alter. Which makes it worse. Guess that is the fear and anxiety kicking in. What is it that you do to make it thru these changes and life events now? How do you make it? Any ideas? Suggestions?
