Ok so I had a pretty rough weekend with being overcharged by the cable company, the lawnmower broke, the computer broke, and the heater broke. Its been overwhelming, but I handeled all of the issues. I know im supposed to feel positive for working through all the problems, but I got severely depressed and went into a crying fit for 3 hours and all through church. Does that mean my meds arnt working? I thought I was supposed to be feeling more nomralized where i could handle such problems without having a major freak out. Does anyone still have strong freakouts despite the meds?

Yes, absolutely.

For me, the meds would mean I could keep it together during all the crisis, handle them, and deal with the emotions afterwards.

I think that list of back to back problems would've thrown anyone off kilter.

Well I was put on different meds yesterday since the depression was getting worse, now I started Cymbalta. Im still crying a lot and feeling empty. I really dont know why I feel so crummy. My life is not bad, its just repetative, and now I have this disorder, and that makes me feel defective, and doomed to feeling crappy everyday.

Give the cymbalta time. All the problems you experienced solved or not create stress and for us it can get nasty, because we have anxiety DISORDER. Not the good anxiety although we really do have that as well. The goal is to find ways that work for you which will reduce your anxiety, then the symptoms and depression will falter. Take care.....Ed
