Thank you for your responses everyone. Seriously.
The changes in me were very sudden. Early last year began having minor concentration and meory problems. Somewhere in the middle of the year, June or July I think, is when it all became severe and I lost my accounting job.
Symptoms vary in intensity. Nothing particular seems to trigger really bad days.
Been on abvout a dozen antidepressants. Can't remember which ones. Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Neurontin, Seroquel, Effexor are the ones I can remember. Theres been more. Most of them were like popping M&M's. Effexor f*cked me up for two montsh with no motor control.
My partner is a great help. She knows everything except the severity of the self destructive urges. I can't seem to drop that on her head as well.
Memory gaps are hard to explain. Frequent. A lot of last year isn't there anymore. I guess that's the best way to put it - it's not like my memory is fuzzy or that things are onthe tip of my tongue. It's just not there.
Remembering things with many steps, like driving direactions or work processes, is the worst.
I tried going to a physician once. They said they'd be happy to examine me as soon as I could afford it. Kind of gave up I guess.
Thanks again. I really appreciate it all.
