I am diagnosed with major clinical depression, suffer symptoms of adult ADD and Aspergers, and am being treated with medications for the clinical depression (wellbutrin xl 300mg). For the past 24 hours or so, my condition has been deteriorating to the point where I am constantly near the state of tears and every few minutes the stress builds up so high that I suffer muscle spasms and twitching that lasts up to five seconds, generally involving my arms or head. I'm not feeling suicidal, but there is a distinct and crushing weight of being in the wrong life (and the right one, unfortunately, is 100% unattainable in modern society). It's not so much "I want to die" as "I wish I wasn't alive" (an important distinction, it's kept me alive throughout a lifetime of depression).
So I suppose I'm asking, and I know the legalese about "not meant for diagnosis or treatment, etc...".
What additional treatment/therapy may be available,
and,
is what I've described a crisis situation?
