Real dark depression

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

For the last week I`ve been in an almost catatonic depression, it is slightly

better today, but has really scared me. I was house bound, barely able to move

(not through pain, but feeling dead), hating the world and everyone in it. My

poor dog doesn`t understand what`s going on and at one point felt as if I should

give him up as its so unfair to him. I hate that I don`t see or speak to anyone

for weeks on end yet I couldn`t bear to see people anyway as I hate everyone.

There is no way I could have even picked up the phone to the docs let alone get

out the front door as I am scared of speaking to people and absolutely dread

seeing anyone.

This isn`t usual for me though I have suffered with depression a lot in the past

and been on anti-depressants.

I am very tempted to phone the docs and go back on anti-depressants.

I haven`t changed any meds recently so don`t know what caused it. I have been

on 75mcgs of Levo for 7 weeks after having been on 50mcgs since August. I have

Hashis. For the last 2 weeks I have been taking 5-HTP to help with depression

and am wondering if this has actually caused the slump. I have also been taking

Adreno Max for a couple of months and a zinc supplement from the doc.

I dread going back on anti-depressants as it was such a hard job coming off

them, but am thinking I have no choice.

Anyone with any experience of this able to comment please ?
