recoverypsychologist says
Anything to say about recovery, coping, adaptation or getting over it?
johnsondkf says
Good point, and I will.
recoverypsychologist says
Cool! I know it can be a struggle…no matter how well the recovery is
sleestack808 says
my symptoms were insomnia due to anxiety. No interests, sadness, empty feeling. can’t stop moving. Excessive drinking of water and loss of sex dive (which sucks).
johnsondkf says
We are two of a kind!
Nurse613 says
You hit the nail on the head. No energy, no desire, no motivation, to go to therapy or anything for that matter, until you get on a pill that will make you feel just good enough to be able to go to therapy. I missed so many therapy appointments that I can’t count. It’s all I can do to force myself to do anything such as get to school, work, grocery shop, appointments, much less get to therapy on a regular basis.
johnsondkf says
Thats why I made this channel, because I know about this subject more than I care to know. But I just want to try to help…
Nurse613 says
How come you had to change meds several times? I started on zoloft last year, and then I had the same problem you talked about. About how you couldn’t sleep, then being groggy the next day. This is exactly what happened to me. I had severe insomnia for many months, and then feel like in a fog the next day, can’t function, tired, can’t concentrate. Its gotten better, I can sleep a little more now. But still very much tired all the time.
johnsondkf says
Paxil- did nothing, prozac- did nothing, zoloft- no sleep, effexor -nothing, cymbalta -sick as a dog
Nurse613 says
how long have you had depression? what do you feel caused it? or started it? It helps me to see someone else in the medical field is going through the same thing. I always feel ashamed, since I should be able to function, I should be perfect like other nurses. This prob is very embarrassing for me. So you are a help. It’s a shame you are married though. You are a very attractive man.
johnsondkf says
As long as I can remember, genetics and environment both, and where do you hail from?? I dont get spoken to that way from anyone, even from the wife.
Nurse613 says
please keep doing more vids… Im trying to figure out what to do with this tired feeling… been tired for 10 years, thought that was bad… didn’t think it could get any worse than it was… Now is the worst it’s ever been… not sure if it’s because of the increase in the Zoloft dose… i was feeling this before they upped my dosage… I just wanna be able to function.
johnsondkf says
I will, and mabey try switching meds I dont know. Tired is the worst feeling on earth. See other videos.
glennman35 says

johnsondkf says
Just get to the Dr. and tell em everything, your feelings, thoughts, attitutudes, sleep and then tell me what they say…Ok
glennman35 says

Iznessmaurer says
Very Good Commentary on Depression and all it emcompasses! Well done and thank v much; my feelings & thoughts were for the most part, very much validated. A relief to know I am not alone in suffering my depression and even better to actually ‘hear’ another fellow human being sharing a personal story as well as advocating the necessity of seeking professional help. My two cents: consult with a good psychiatrist rather than a psychologist. Thanks for the vid 🙂
FizzmenJr says
i went to the doctors and she said i was depressed
DethMetalPoptarts says

TellsHowItIs says
ALL those symptoms you metioned I have, and more. It’s crazy and I can’t even find any help or support for it which I desperately need.
I’m basically existing rather then living.
Annette84 says
hi John (im assuming thats your name) thank you so much for this video, i am struggling with anxiety and major depression at the moment. I have been taking anti-depressents for nearly 6 years anyway but have had my dose increased so i hope that this helps, its a nightmare 🙁
