I'm officially back in major depression at the moment. Severe clinical depression. Yes, a flare-up of my lifelong problem, and part of being bipolar, combined with severe panic disorders, anxiety disorders, and a mild degree of agoraphobia.
We'll hope the current bout of overwhelming pain, triggered by certain events, is a passing trend.
But right now I'm highly dysfunctional. Apologies for attached lack of blogging.
Yes, I'm trying to seek more professional help. I could use any help from local friends with that, frankly.
Friends are encouraged to write, but on the other hand, I'm apt to be too paralytically depressed to respond. :-(

My little constellation of challenges looks (rather depressingly I must say,) a *lot* like yours. I've been that way all my life. So I think I may have some understanding of the difficulties you face.
ReplyDeletePlease accept my sincere best wishes. I hope you bounce back quickly and lastingly.

I'll mention that I've subsequently been again diagnosed as non-bipolar. Unipolar depression, yes. Bipolar: no. The anomalous doctor who came up with that did it in two minutes, and I never felt it was right; neither had any previous psychiatrists or therapists, nor my subsequent ones.
