What is going on?

Posted , 4 users are following.

Morning all. Have been on Fluoxetine for about 10 months with no side effects, have been feeling pretty good actually. Yesterday was my birthday and I hated every minute of it :-( Didn't feel like talking to anyone so my husband said that it was my birthday and I could do what I wanted and pulled the plug out of the phone. Daughters were brilliant as well sending supportive messages. Feel slightly better today but a bit embarrassed about yesterday. Surely this was just a blip?

    Under our circumstances dealing with this sort of issue I think you do what works for you at that moment. We all have some better days. Guilty or feeling bad about it was then. I hear you though and understand the feeling as I know it's possible with every situation and gathering. I'm around that same amount of time on the flu. Definitely has been quite the ride of seems like thousands of different mashed feelings over the months. Todays another day with being this new NORMAL. Prayer's to this group daily for healing, blessings and joy.

    Thank you both for taking the time to reply. Am feeling slightly better today, maybe it was just a sh*t birthday :-) Had a few things go wrong regarding planned gifts so I guess that didn't help. Although I am not one for celebration on my birthday I think my girls expect it and I just couldn't muster the energy yesterday.

    Maybe the life/personal issues underlying your depression are coming up to be processed. They don't always announce themselves clearly or in ways we can understand at first. That's where the work of self-exploration begins. Sometimes when a medication relieves us of the most obvious symptoms, the underlying "stuff" comes up to be dealt with.
