Lonely
Can't get going.
Must be ready for next semester.
Future is scary.
Don't want to do anything but sleep.
Here I go again...
Why can't I keep my mouth shut?

they don't want to live anymore?
I don't want to die, I just don't want to live life right now.
Geez, I have problems.
I want to sleep 24/7 and dream all the time. I don't like reality. I want to go to fantasy land and stay there.

I always would get "crispy" after the end of a long semester. I think you just need to rest and recover. It sounded like a rough term. You deserve some time not thinking about school between terms.
And I do think it's signficant that you started having these negative thougths after going off the Risperdal. Make sure you talk to your pdoc about this, okay?

The problem is that I'm not thinking of school enough I think. I need a good start this semester.
> And I do think it's signficant that you started having these negative thougths after going off the Risperdal. Make sure you talk to your pdoc about this, okay?I don't have a p-doc right now. Pdoc2 abandoned me because I was doing well. He decreased the Celexa, stopped the Risperdal and didn't give me enough Wellbutrin before our last session. I will see pdoc1 on Jan 30th. I think he was glad to be rid of me.

Can you ring up and try and make another appoitment to see him?
Even better... Try and talk to him over the phone and tell him that you haven't been doing so well since he decreased your meds.
?> I will see pdoc1 on Jan 30th. I think he was glad to be rid of me.
It is hard to know what is up with them sometimes...
:-(
I'm sorry

> Even better... Try and talk to him over the phone and tell him that you haven't been doing so well since he decreased your meds.I don't want to bother him more. He told me it was our last session and I don't want to bother him. I'm not doing horribly badly. I think it is normal to not be super cheerful all the time. I would bet that he would increase my Celexa back to 60mg again. Maybe that is what I should do. Seeing him wasn't really that useful. Taking meds is all just guesswork anyways. 90% of the time I'm not even sure meds are doing anything. I bet he thinks I need some psychotherapy and is glad that I'll be seeing pdoc1 again for that.

Yep. But better still... Tends to be a combination of both.
They aren't a magic cure... But then... Neither is therapy. It is more about... Taking the edge off things for you. And over time... You will start figuring things out. But it is slow... Progress can seem slow sometimes. But yeah, it is normal to have ups and downs. And to think about 'bad' stuff. Which isn't so 'bad' really 'cause I think almost everybody thinks about it a little at times.
> He told me it was our last session and I don't want to bother him. I'm not doing horribly badly.
No you aren't doing horribly badly. You are doing fine. But if things do start to get a bit bad again... It shouldn't be all that hard for him to write you a script. He doesn't even have to see you for that really. Not if it is fairly much a continuation of what you were on before. In fact... Your GP might be able to write you a script. But... Thats only if you found some benefit to the medication of course. Sometimes it can be hard to figure how much that helped and how much we were just ticking along alright by ourself and we would have been doing that just fine even without the medication.
How come he stopped it?
> I think it is normal to not be super cheerful all the time.
Yep. Everybody has 'bad' days. And days that are just kind of flat.
