Depression- YUCK
Mar 15, 2010
Well February was not a good month for me. I stopped taking my anti- depressents a month after surgery... and it all caught up to me. I thought I had been doing so well, I guess I was just fooling my self.
I have been barely able to get up and go to work, I would come home and go to bed. On the weekends I would do nothing. Well it finally go so bad that I didnt get dressed, brush my hair or teeth for 5 days, and just sat around with tears in my eyes. My husband told me I had a choice I could get dressed & get in the car, or just get in the car, he was taking me to the Dr. and there was no argueing about it. Well i went, and saw a really nice DR. not my PCP as he was booked. This Dr looked at my medical history back to 1999 to see what kind of anti depressants I had been on and why they had been switched. I really like him,. too bad he is not a regular dr- he only works the walk in clinic.
Well I got back on my anti depressants, and I am also seeing my counselor. I stopped seeing her in November. She is very helpful, and I dont know why I stopped seeing her. I had been seeing her to help with the head and reasons why I chose food as my drug of choice to deal with life.
Things are getting better, still dont feel like my self. And hind sight is 20-20. I was not functioning well the last few months. I should have known when I wasnt doing any quilting that something was wrong.
I did learn that I can not go off my anti depressants.... especially cold turkey and by myself. This is the second time in my life that I did that.... why i didnt learn the first time I dont know.
I am taking one day at a time, I have tried to set a sleep/ wake cycle and try not to vary it much. My counselor told me that if the body knows what to expect it will work better.
I have to remember that this is a journey and that it will take a while to get to where I want to be.
thanks,
KIm
