> i dont think its all buspar. my life has had several stressful events and i dont think i deal well with those, but also i think i was headed for this drop anyway. i just think buspar exaggerated it a bit. or at the very least added to the pot.
I sometimes find it helpful to see my episodes within a narrative context. That would be that this is a downtime and to expect myself to be cognitively, physically, and in all ways slower, etc. I would try and retry patience with self, and I would do so by reminding myself by my place in the narrative (depressive episode).

> not feeling better today. only way more tired and a bit dumb. seems like nothings in head today. cant comprehend much, or hurts to do so. very hard to work today.
> thing is cant miss much work these days.Maybe give the zyprexa some days to work. It takes time to recover from a major depressive episode. This is what it sounds like, to me, you are dealing with. I am so sorry because it really bites.
>
> i just dont know where my life is right now. whats the point of any of this.I have never found much point to anything besides trying to endure life with dignity and being kind. You seem to be managing that. Try to be kind to yourself. My therapist told me last week I was as precious as my son. I was alarmed. I started to cry. After the session, I went out to my car and had an anxiety attack. How nuts is that? So I can't quite practice what I say, but I know you love your girls. If you can hold onto that love for them as an example for yourself.... At least that's what my therapist is angling at.
