Do depressives dream of suicidal sheep?

[dopaminergic]

I can't go on like this much longer. I haven't gotten a real, full night's sleep in...well, fuck, I can't even remember. My anti-depressant is no longer working for me; I cry for no reason, I don't want to eat, I can't fall asleep at night, and once I do I cannot stay asleep for more than just a few hours straight (and this is not entirely poor

You are breaking my heart. Many of us have been there; I recognize a lot of my own symptoms in what you are describing. Are you seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist? I have been on a gamut of drugs, and honestly they did nothing but make me want more drugs. The only thing that really helped me was going through DBT therapy. Have you asked about sleeping pills? If they won't give them to you (for fear of addiction)... take 2 benadryl and drink a glass of red wine... generally that knocks you out for at least 6 hours if not 8. Sleep really helps. Also, try taking time (everyday) to list the good stuff that has happened, I know that sounds ridiculous... but when you make a serious effort to look at the better side of things, everything else going on doesn't seem so daunting. Also, do you get up long before you have to be anywhere? I try to wake up at least 2 hours before I have to show up to work... I spend that time drinking coffee... slowly getting ready... making a list... checking my day planner... checking email/lj etc.
