Mini-depression coming on?

I don't feel the same degree of anxiety as I did in 2007, but otherwise, feel kind of close to the point I was the last time I went on anti-depressants. And, I don't want to do that. I asked for an older one, a tricyclic, as well as an SSRI, having heard of brain zaps. Turned out that, in part probably due to not tapering enough, had more brain zaps from the old Elavil than from the Lexapro. (I was on a bigger dose of Lexapro, too.)

I've had a lot of work-related stressors in the last six months, even more than a decade ago. I've adjusted better so far, though not perfectly.
1. Laid off
2. Get new job but have to move for it
3. Company gets sold (good for getting health ins., not so good overall in other ways)
4. New editor as a result of that.

More later ... I want to hit the hay.
