Hi, just wanted to get some insight into this. I have been working at a high-stress project for a few months. The project ended well, everyone was happy, it was a tremendous success with kudos going to me for doing such a good job. Here's the thing: right after I fell into a week-long depression. I couldn't function, I couldn't leave the apartment, I couldn't shop for food, bathe. Just kept watching tons of TV. It was only after missing a friend's social function that I finally snapped out of it. I felt terrible about letting my friend down. I didn't have the energy to look in my agenda to find the day and time. The stupid thing was that I would have loved to have been around people.

Has anyone else experienced this? I got from being in a work environment that has tons of people and is extremely stimulating to time off when I am totally alone. It's a bit hard to take. Even after successful contracts, I fall into this no matter how well prepared I am. I am also taking Chlonozepam PMS for my PMS and anxiety -- anyone know anything about this drug? I only take it when I need it and have been halving and quartering pills and once I started taking it again in the middle of this weeklong hell it did seem to relieve my mood.

Am I weird? Why am I depressed when I should be happy? Why is it that when I meet people outside of my intense work environment I have a hard time relating to them? I get instantly shy because we are not involved in work anymore and don't know what to say?

Any insight into this would be appreciated.
