Jen,
I am so sorry you're going through this. I can't imagine what it's like to have had those experiences.
Regarding feeling suicidal, I can relate as I experienced that 5 years ago. What got me through it was thinking about who would miss me if I were to be gone. I would also just try to get through the next 15 minutes with the hope that something would make me change this feeling.
Any possibility of doing something like that?What are your interests? Even if it's hard to get interested in anything, try to force yourself, ok?
Regarding being on a high enough dose of Effexor, I assume you've discussed this with your psychiatrist? Is the Effexor usually helping but you're getting these breakthrough episodes of depression? Also, as Lou mentioned, hopefully, you're talking about this with your p-doc or therapist.
Finally, Jen, I just want to give you a big cyber hug and that I'll be thinking about you.
Shirley
