Thanks Link. I don't have psychotic depression-but interestingly, Prozac was one I had hoped would work as it was my last trial altogether. It progressively reduced my motivation; after a few weeks, it was zapped-to the point were I sat motionless and staring, as if my mind was 'empty'. I've had catatonia before, though not too severe, and this was not like that at all. I have already given up on antidepressants-it ended up to be good timing as I do not need them anymore (I am not depressed; still overwhelmed a bit in dealing with all I have to catch up on-but feel it lifted)
The semi-psychosis is a result of intense anxiety (source is childhood fears surfacing that my ego cannot handle well enough) and gets worked out in therapy. It's not as bad as OCD anxiety-and I never completely lapse from reality. Which is why it's 'semi-psychosis' or sometimes called 'transient psychosis' or 'pseudo-psychosis....it's more related to depersonalization which is considered by some to be realted to the anxiety family.
