I was diagnoised with depression three years ago. I have been on many different meds which have helped. I have just started taking Mirapex I also have RLS which can disrupt my sleep. I am doing better. My issue is that I still feel like a looser I take the depression tests and find that not all these things apply to me. I also have problems with my eating habits. I eat lots of sugar. Does anyone have any solutions these issues?

Remember that the feelings you have with depression, even with medication, can be false. As real as they feel, just know your mood thermostat is busted! I have to remind myself of this often. I feel like a loser too, and I crave sugar like it's going out of style ~ every day I have to have a vanilla mocha or I feel like I'm missing something. Sad, huh? But we need to remember that these are symptoms of a physical ailment, and that we as people are okay. Really, it sounds cheesy, but it's true. I'm in this boat with you. So pass the sugar, will ya? heehee

Thanks so much for your response. Right now I am going though a very negative period. My decesion making is all messed up. I know this will pass and things will get better. My meds seem to be helping so I am trying to take baby steps until things get better.

Thanks again.
