Hi
I am roughly 2 weeks in to a relapse after 2.5 good years and have had fluoxetine increased to 40mg a day (I have been on 20mg in the meantime). I feel so low and tearful and despite recovering in the past, feel like I’ll never get better or be myself again. Anyone else unfortunate enough to be in a similar situation?x

Yes. I feel you. It. Freaking. Sucks. About over a year ago I was started on 20 MG, then about 2 weeks later 40 MG, and stayed there. It took a while but I felt great. Better than I ever have. Sometime last year around maybe September I had like a major outburst. Which hadn't happened in a long time. I thought it was justified. But I went nuts. Screaming crying, feeling like my world was ending, having a strong desire to bang my head into glass. I just wanted to die. I'd never kill myself or anyone else. But It was the first time I felt like I'd rather die. The next day, I got to work and felt like I couldn't move. I just sat there, slumped, staring at nothing, feeling hopeless and like my life meant nothing. For no reason. I though about the night before when I had went crazy and how my boyfriend must hate me for it (he doesn't, he's an angel) and I just started crying profusely. I went to my HR manager and cried to him and told him I need to go to the doctor, like now. I had totally realized that this isn't right, I'm clearly depressed again. Don't know why. He was understanding and let me go, and I immediately drove to my PCP. She upped my dosage of Fluoxetine to 50 MG, and my boyfriend met me at the doctor and I told him i'm sorry and he was so understanding, even though I went batsh*t crazy on him the night before. I haven't had a major problem since. I mean you'll have those days or moments every now and then, but anything that I just described is not right, and it's always important to go see your doc. I know it sucks. It comes out of nowhere. I'm sorry you're going through it but it will pass I promise. Just know you're not alone. My messages are open if you need someone to talk to. I know how it feels. Hang in there.
