Mentally, I feel like I'm a wreck but how do I make a professional understand how I feel? I barely function through the day, and the effort to appear 'normal' is exhausting. I know I'm depressed, but apparently I'm very sensitive to meds because I have BAD reactions to them. After the latest med reacted, the Dr. told the nurse (didn't tell me himself) to tell me that he didn't know of anything else to do for me, if he thought of something he would let me know. My mind spins and whirls, I can't remember how to do things I've done for years, I feel so sad my chest literally hurts. When I'm around people, I will look at them and cannot think of anything to say, I feel I no longer relate to anybody. I have a husband and good family, I just feel like I'm crazy (no offense to anyone with that term). I don't want to go anywhere - I've always loved the beach but now I have zero interest. I feel dead inside. Can anyone relate or help?

When you begin to see a therapist, they will know how to get you to open up and communicate about what's inside. It's possible that you don't even know what is bothering you. It takes a professional to bring these things out of you. Make that appointment asap,, Good Luck.

Would not trust pharmaceutical product to solve anything. Try fighting by other methods. Rest more, eat better, practice some religion.
And find the underlying cause! All of that are symptoms.
(Doctors never fix those things, but can make damage)
