Re: Memory and Motivation
Awww Grinch, you do seem rather down. How long have you been feeling like this? Are there certain times of the day where you feel better/worse? Of if this has been happening over the course of a year, do you feel better/worse at certain periods?
How long ago did you come off the tablets? Did your memory and motivation drop once you stopped the tablets? You mentioned tiredness, is that a separate thing entirely or are you unmotivated because you’re tired?
The memory thing is a little worrying…how long has that been deteriorating for?
I agree with what Baph said, I really would go and see your GP, mention all your problems and say that you do not want anti-depressants. They don’t get to the root cause of problems; they only mask it which isn’t the best way forward. I’m a firm believer in psychological therapy – sitting down with someone and properly working through your feelings and issues can help immensely. Particularly discussing things with someone who is detached and bears no personal relationship to you whatsoever.
It’s a shame there is still a stigma attached to seeking psychological help i.e. “oh noes im crazy” because it doesn’t signify that at all.
Sorry for all the questions, im just trying to get a clearer picture of what’s been happening to you and how its affecting you so that us .orgers can help more (and possibly you can sort of help yourself by seeing what you’ve written and getting your thoughts in order?)
