Seasonal summer depression huh? What causes seasonal depression? I hear quite a few people here mentioning it. Sorry you had such a rough day. I hate those days where you LITERALLY feel like the world is falling apart and that you WILL finally go crazy, once and for all. EVERYTIME I swear I will never feel better again, so then hubby has to give me the "things always get better, hang in there" pep talk. It's strange how when you are in the middle of the depression you really think you will never feel better. I get that stiff/pained feeling if I go too high on the Zoloft. Can you take a sleep med to help you get some sleep? I sleep a little too long on the Restoril, about 10 hours. But at least I FEEL rested when I get up thank goodness. I am still having that icy/hot weird feeling on the top of my head. Feels like I rubbed Ben Gay all over my head. And definately a numb feeling only on the left side of my head. Strange! But I feel good, so what the hell! Just curious if you, also being Bipolar II, have a bad long term memory like I do? Do you rapid cycle daily/hourly? For me it can be hourly, which is a pain in the butt. I can feel horrible in the morning, great in the afternoon, grouchy by night. Never quite know how I'll wake up in the morning. Orthostatic hypotension? Can you explain that one to me, I'm not quite as knowledgable about these things as you are. Tomorrow I see the pdoc. Have to convince her to put me back on the Restoril. I think she will go for it (at least I hope so!). Wish me luck!
