Loneliness: Why am I depressed?

@lindasmith1222 Moving to a new area can cause a big shift in our viewpoint, that's for sure. When I moved here three years ago, 800+ miles from everyone I knew, it took a long period of adjustment, getting used to a new lifestyle, new climate pattern, new town. I had to make myself get out to meet people, especially being here mostly by myself, and knowing I needed to have someone in mind to call if help was needed. As someone who avoids crowds and people, this was quite a challenge, let me tell you!
Are you taking the same dose of buproprion as before? The stressors of the move may have covered over some underlying things, and now you are getting more used to your new location. Can you reach out to the prescribing doctor and seek their opinion? I'm here for you!

Hi Ginger. Thanks for contacting me. Your story seems like mine. The prescribing psychiatrist is not approachable. I have had zoom meetings with her for 2 years now and I don't think we will ever be in the same room together again. She is swamped with patients. Not too many psychiatrists anymore with the approval of gp doctors and psychologists to prescribe psychotropic medications. As this day goes on I feel a tad better. Yes, I am on the same dose. I have an appt with a new psychiatrist here, but I have waited one month and have 2 more weeks to wait before my 1st appt.
