Depressing Time of Year

Posted By Twyla on December 25, 2007 @ 7:50 pm

I am a big fan of spring, summer, and fall.  I love being outside in the sun, catching rays and spending as little time inside.  But that all changes with winter - the cold outdoors makes us all spend more time inside.  It is during winter that I suffer from depression.

It has been less than ten years now since I was diagnosed with depression.  Over the years, I have tried many methods such as exercise, outings, special lights, and diets, but have had no luck.  Just in the past few years, I have been using generic Zoloft to help keep me in good spirits.

I had originally tried to order Paxil over the phone, but I didn’t have much luck with that.  I found that after using Paxil for awhile, I would get a little weird.  After a few months, I was taken off of Paxil, and changed to Prozac.

I was able to order Prozac online, which was very convenient for me.  I don’t care to go outside in the cold and having it delivered to my door, I didn’t have to go outside.  But, after a couple of months, we realized that it wasn’t doing anything for me at all.  So, my doctor switched me to Zoloft.

I am still taking Zoloft, and it is a good fit for me.  It keeps me from getting too down on myself, and helps me make it through winter.  I don’t know what I would do without it.
