I am a 31 yr old married mother of three boys and my depression is just getting worse by the day. I have had a seizure disorder for the past nine years it wasn't until recently that the doctors figured out that they are non epileptic seizures in the meantime I have been on every epileptic medication and none of them helped me of course. I am currently on Remeron and Primidone for depression and Klonipin when needed but lately I have just been miserable and I can't "snap out of it". I'll be seeing a neuro psych in a few weeks but it feels like forever, not to mention the fact that I have been to different psych's before and have walked out swearing and mad as hell. Every little thing is setting me off and I'm constantly crying. I've been a housewife for the past seven years now so needless to say I have no friends and my family only likes to get together when drinking which I don't do. I'm miserable and I'm making my kids miserable too. They are at the point to where when they ask me something the immediately cover up their ears because they know I'm going to get mad about something. I hate myself and everything I've become. I'm afraid to even tell the doctors about my moods because I'm afraid of what they will think of me. I just don't know what to do.
Hi, I just signed up for this forum. I Just wanted to respond and say i hear ya and your certainly not alone. I don't have any advice to give but here's a big (((((hug))))) if you need one. Just keep in mind that this is a medical condition and is difficult to be ourselves when we are feeling absolutely rotten. Be gentle with yourself relief is right around the corner.

Sorry you are having such a hard time. Have you tried calling crisis line to talk to someone since it is going to be a while before you can talk to your psych. I think the one of the worst things about being depression is the feeling of being alone. I think you made a very positive step by finding this site. Never be afraid to tell you doctor about your moods or symptons they cannoot help you if they do not know everything that is going on.
Hope things get better. But do not be afraid to ask for help. Good Luck.
