Okay, so it's been three weeks, since i was diagnosed, and I have done tons of reading. I now am sure that I have not been misdiagnosed. I started with 500m Depakote and 20mg of Lexapro. Most of my research, as well as family have discouraged me from SSRI's.
I went to my Psychiatrist on Tuesay and asked if I could get off the Lexapro. My dreams as well as bad sleep in general, were making me feel like it wasn't the drug for me. The doc said to cut the pills in half and be off them by monday.
So.....It's Friday. I had a fitful night of sleep and my husband annoyed me immensley this morning. The problem is i am now highly emotional and haven't been able to stop crying for close to 3 hours. (The husband did not annoy me that much.) I feel like crawling under my desk and sleeping the rest of the day.
Now....that i have told my saga....how do i know when i am just upset, which i don't really feel, and when do i know i am depressed? Especially considering that for the past 15 years I thought my odd behavior was normal. I don't want to overreact. But I feel like crap!

Crying has healing properties in the tears. Not good to cry all the time but a good cry every now and then is good for you. that was this am how are you now? Love Phillipa
