I've never thought of myself as a depressed person (although I have had situational depression occasionally), but for a while now I've had acute depression on the weekends to where I've started having anticipatory worry about the weekends. During the week I have my job which keeps me fairly busy, there are interesting TV shows I like to watch, and I feel like I almost have a life. On the weekends, I feel I'm missing out on life - I have nothing to do and nobody to do it with. I have some social anxiety obviously but I don't take anything for it because I don't like the drugs out there for social phobia. I'm single and live by myself. I take Neurontin and 1 15 mg. pill every morning of Tranxene, but it doesn't help on the weekends. Dr. Bob, if this post doesn't belong here, feel free to move it.
It's the weekend (again) and I'm down in the dumps (again). Maybe I should talk to my pdoc about this, but I don't want to be on SSRIs. Oh, I also had liposuction in February, and I'm looking great, but I can't remember if the weekend depression started before. I believe it did, but I got all kinds of attention from my family while I was recuperating, and now that's gone.
