I wish that others knew how horrible this feels. I am on 20 mg of Lexapro–asked my Dr. about this sort of slow slide into it…but the main question for me (I have major depression) is, “Why can’t I see the symptoms before they happen?!”

This morning I felt like i was going to die, My arms and legs felt numb, I was so anxious (all stems from depression though) and finally took some xanax. It was the first time in a while that I’ve needed it–it just really fixes my mindset–gets rid of these TERRIBLE dreams that I’ve been having.

I don’t know, this happens every year–whether it’s March or April. I just need to get this back into check and find a Dr. to help me through this.

I can’t explain how bad it is. As with the rest of you, I’ve had this happen now probably 7 years running. It just seems like I have short-term memory re: remembering why and how I need to be ready for this.

By the way, I think the reason why Spring is so bad for me is because of allergies, AND because, about 8 years ago, I had the same symptoms right around this time. I ended up having to take weeks off at work. It’s just so goddamn hard. I wonder sometimes if others would understand if they could feel like I felt this morning. Basically the worst I felt since the first round…where I laid on the couch and watched shit like poker. Or bad movies. Things that don’t require my mind to focus so hard.

It’s also March Madness, (in basketball) and I’m really happy that I get to watch this. I took off today. Tomorrow I will as well. I think getting on the treadmill might help. It’s just glad to know I’m not alone. It took me like 30 minutes to write this…welcome to depression. No, I’m not sad. Tears don’t come from an area you understand. Seeing the world from outside yourself…

That’s scary. And all I want to do is feel better. Time. I know, Time.

Good luck everyone

Thankyou for the article, I thought I was losing it.
Currently my neighborhood in Edmonton, Alberta is blanketed in snow mold. I’ve never suffered the effects as strongly as now.

Mold allergy and how to feel better

The short answer to your question:

1) Minimize exposure to mold. As nice as fresh air is to breath, better to keep windows closed and stay inside more.

2) Keep a dryer environment. You might have to turn the heat up or use a portable electric heater in what ever room you are in.

I know these aren’t always easy to do, but if you can do them a bit, it will help.

Also, make sure your basement is as dry as possible.

Yes, thank you for validating this reality. I looked up “allergies and tiredness” because for the past week and one half I have been so tired, irritated and unmotivated. My eyes are burning and watering, my nose gets all stuffed up at night, etc. Someone told me it might be mold allergies. Here in MN, it has been warmer than usual with a rapid melting of snow for the past two weeks and now rain for the past two days. I already take allegra and nasal spray, but it is obviously not working. Any suggestions on how to feel better?

It’s such a relief to know I’m not the only one. I LOVE spring, yet here I am, slightly miserable, living in my head a bit too much, short of breath, nose stuffed up….and I just came to this exact same conclusion. Thought I’d google it to see if my “snow mold allergy/depression theory held any weight and here I am! Thanks for this article!
