Title: I think my depression is killing me?
Post by: EuroDragon on November 16, 2009, 08:53:18 AM
It feels like it is sucking every little bit of life out of me  :( I think its causing Anorexia and weight loss aswell, and now I have trouble sleeping. I think it may be relted to my Gender probelsm? I don't know what to do, I don't want to go to the doctor incase they say its just nothing.

If you need help and the doctor or Psyd. isn't giving you any then find another.

It may a few tries to find the right meds.  Or even the right doctor.

You aren't alone.  I'm on Welbutrin.  It allows me to function.

Ditto

Getting on Lexapro has probably been the best thing I've done since starting HRT. (from being more outgoing and pretty much eliminating suicidal thoughts)
