Time for anti depressants again?

I have been off medication for 3 years now. They helped pick me up and give me the motivation when I was utterly hopeless & despairing, extremely depressed, with anorexia and undiagnosed DID. I had a v small dose for a short amount of time to give me the optimism to invest in therapy and when I could feel therapy working, I came off them and kept the optimism through all sorts of stressful situations. I felt feelings- I wanted to feel sad about sad things and happy about happy things which was so new.

Lately I've been feeling worn out, tired and flat. I don't do much when I have spare time even though normally I look forward to my (many) hobbies and my normally wildly active imagination is silent and blank.

I don't know if this is 'normal' in response to a period of stress I can't do anything about and have to wait for answers on, and I should work through it, or if I should go back to medication for a bit. Wwyd?

I should say, my psychologist is off sick and then close for Christmas so cannot talk it through with her.

I would suggest going back on the meds for a bit.

Agree. Catch it now. Give your GP a call.
