:-(
Deneb's not sad, just not happy. Deneb wishes she could sleep and not wake up until she's happy again.
Deneb thinks she should continue not taking Wellbutrin so she can get drunk.
Deneb's thinking of buying more booze to get drunk.
Deneb wants to be in a coma for a while.

Sorry to hear that. But alcohol is a medication that will always let you down. I hope you stay away from it.

Have you stopped taking your meds? It seems from the past when you stop taking your meds, your mood suffers.

Deneb should send this post to her pdoc immediately, along with a note on which medications she is currently taking and in what doseage, what changes she's made in the doseage and when.
Also, alchohol can be a depressant. Moreso for some than for others. You may be one of those people who has a strong reaction to drinking it.
You clearly don't feel well right now. It would be a good time to assess your medications, and get real life help. Babble is well and fine for what it is. But it's not a substitute for real life help.

I think Dinah is absolutely correct.
Also, your recent adm. post made for some excellent insights, suggestions, ideas and the like from very caring and knowing posters. I could not add anyting to the messages of their heartfelt pouring out to you as to what resources, ideas and plans you probably need in order to find your way to wellness. Heeding the advice given in those posts might be the most difficult work of work of your life but may give you a life of the quality you desire.

My T told me something that I've since repeated many times. Forgive me if you've already heard it.
Alcohol is a wonderful antidepressant, but it has terrible side-effects, including depression.
So Deneb, alcohol may put you in a stupor, but it's kind of like putting a bandaid on an infected wound. You don't have to look at it anymore, but when the bandaid falls off, the wound is yuckier than ever.Alcohol is an escape, but there are other escapes too, like movies, books, ice cream, hobbies, Buttertart.
And I'm sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. Stay with the wellbutrin and dump your kahlua down the drain. If you stop taking your psychmeds, you may have withdrawal symptoms (ugh)
Take care of yourself Deneb* I care about you (((Deneb*)))
I hope your pdoc can recommend a T or a counsellor for you. I think you're ready for it, and it might be a good project for you this summer.
take care of Deneb*
your friend,

In my experience, Wellbutrin is a happy-making drug, rather than just a depression-lifting drug. So, if you dropped the WB that may account for a dip in mood. Additionally, you might ask pdoc if you could increase WB. But ask. Ask, ask, ask. Let me say that one more time: ask.
Best,
EE

yeah, I miss Deneb* too.
She might be sleeping. I know that her sleeping schedule is slightly nocturnal. Her and Buttertart both.

I'm okay. No drinking. There's a lot of Vodka, but I don't like it.
llrrrpp's right, been sleeping my day away. Don't really feel like doing anything.
