Hello
Hello New here been sober for 300 days, feeling depressed thought I would come here and join maybe figure this out, seeing a Psychologist on pristiq and concerta, and Cannabis for PTSD to help with insomnia and nightmares, been off work for almost two years now and I think I am going insane because I haven't heard anything about when I will be going back, I am in limbo and I am going crazy.

Hi and Welcome!
Good for you for 300 days sober!
Is it possible that the medication you're taking is not working well for you? Maybe talking to your dr about this would be a good idea. I hope something comes along with your job situation. Have you thought about doing some volunteer work while you're waiting?

Welcome to SR. It's a great place for support. Congratulations on 300 days. That's great.
Family & Friends sure does have some eye opening posts as we see how some of our behavior impacts our loved ones.
Hang in there. Sounds like you have a plan in coming here and seeing your doctor. Keep going

Congrats on your 300 days sober, that's great.
How long have you been taking the anti-depressents? If longer than a few months I have read about people trying a few different ones until they find one that responds well to them, everyone is different. If you have given your medication enough time to work and aren't getting good results I would think it's time to talk to your psychiatrist about trying another one.
Good luck.

Funny thing getting older and not drinking, it would seem somehow I am hypersensitive to more things now. Listening to my body and making adjustments along the way.
