I feel terrible todayyyyy. I’m pretty sure my Sinemet (L-dopa/carbidopa) medication for my neurological disorder is contributing to my already predisposed depression.

I'm sorry today sucks. Whenever you start spiraling in negativity, remember that it could be your meds.

Talk to your doctor ASAP about the concern. There might be some other medicine that would be better, or something to use with it to lessen this symptom

Also, it goes without saying that you should make sure you sleep a lot and drink lots of water and eat really healthy. Essentially, make sure that easy fixes like sleep deprivation/dehydration/malnutrition don't compound your symptoms even more. All the best!! ♥️

That was really helpful. Thank you!!

However today, I slept till 7:00, did not work out or have food. Still got to work by 10 and did 8 solid hours of work.
