Hi Catbus, I can see how much you are struggling. ❤️ It is really good that you are on antidepressants. But this medication is just a support for you. You need to take a deep breath and talk to someone professional. I am glad to hear that you decided to talk to a therapist. Hope you are feeling good. ❤️

Have your antidepressants dosage been increased at all since starting taking them? They often need multiple titrations up to get the most out of the to help

I've taken so many happy pills in my life that I've lost count. Finally got put on Cymbalta and that one has lasted me the longest. I recently had to give it a boost with Buspirone, so depression is always a challenge to keep on top of. But good for you for getting on Telehealth and asking for help. Do you have anyone you can turn to in your personal life for help? Is there any way you can take some short term disability time away from work?

I'm sorry. It sounds like you need a strong support system/you might have burnout and need a vacation. Do you have support?

Is there anything you can do to cut back your hours at work? Is there any expenses that you have that you can cut back on so you won't need to work so much? It's not surprising that you are struggling because you seem so overwhelmed and I would be drowning in all that stress. So please please try to find a way to cut back and make time for yourself. You deserve to feel happy and stable.

I am sorry you are struggling. I agree with Lavendersunset, but you might also be on the wrong antidepressants. There are many out there, and it sometimes takes a while to find the right one.

So sorry to hear that you are struggling
