> Hi Scott, sorry to hear you have regressed with your treatment.
> How would you describe your symptoms?1. Anergia
2. Loss of interest
3. Amotivation
4. Cognitive slowing
5. Memory impairments
6. Flat affect
7. Heavy sighing
8. Dysautomia (imbalance in autonomic system)
> Is your depression such that you lose all desire/motivation?Totally.
> How often, and long do you sink into the depression?
Although I had brief bouts of moderate depression after age 10, it became SEVERE by age 17. Since that time, I have only spent a few days at a time in remission due to treatment, and one 9 month period of stable full remission at age 27. In other words, my depression never remits spontaneously. I have been depressed for decades with no relent.
> Do you, or have you in past, suffered with anxiety/panic?
Yes. Social anxiety/phobia was a major part of what I experienced earlier in my history.
> Don't mean to sound nosy, but it would help me in understanding your pattern and maybe offering proactive advise.
Much appreciated.
> Yes, I know, the wall can seem quite thick at times, but we will continue to fight, if not through it, then up and over it!God damned right.
> Please keep well, Rick
You do the same, Scott
