Is there anyone out there like me? I'm a young, educated female who has had a history of depression since I was a teenager. My main psychiatric diagnosis is disthymia, but I also have generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder. I have tried Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, and Celexa. Right now I'm taking Zoloft again. I've been on it for about a month. I haven't been sleeping well. I tried Remeron, but it didn't work. Restoril works sometimes. I'm trying to find the right combination of medication and I am going to start therapy again. I have never been raped, physically abused, or neglected. I have a supportive family. Lately I've been in a slump. I would have killed myself if it wasn't for the people in my personal life. I just can't seem to think positively-everything seems negative. I'm taking everything personally and I worry about everything. It also grieves me to see how the people in my personal life are concerned. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just feeling sorry for myself or if I actually have borderline personality disorder-as if you couldn't tell-I'm very neurotic. I was just wondering if anyone could relate or has any helpful advice.
