Just wondering if anyone still had PAWS experiences after 16 months...been in a funk for about a month where movies, even commercials are getting me emotional...little less motivated right now as well...not complaining, just wondering...

Thanks

Rainy days and mondays always get me down!  think i have heard that before..lol...but for me the rain will do it everytime if it goes on for days at a time..cos i am prone to getting funky...but that is perhaps why i did the pills..why feel fuinky if u dont have to...i will make theis rainy day and monday always get me up!  glad that is not my mode of coping...but it does take a while..and we all have a bad day...and when it is ur bad day(s)..hearing bout my bad days dont help...but u know this wil pass...flguy..u know it will

Thx to both of you...never had been diagnosed with depression, definitely wanted something for anxiety at times lol but the doc said normal stress in the working world.  I'm pretty upbeat most of the time so this came around and the only time I can ever remember  getting emotional (where I wasn't controlling it), especially over a commercial, was when I was coming off meds so this just made me wonder.

Thx Again...

A lot of people are in depression and never reliezed it until after they got sober, but 16 months is a long time for dep. to show its head. I have suffered from depression on and off my whole life, i was clean untill 04 for twenty five years. The way I know that my dep. is about to show up I will start getting emotional at the slightest thing, a song, a story, my own thoughts, any thing will make me want to tear up. Good luck you may want to talk to your DR
