Ok so I went to the doctor this week and after crying to her about being depressed and other things that have been plaguing me these last few months I feel so much better and have a better outlook on life! My doctor (who I just met but she is so knowledgeable whereas some docs I've seen in the past have not been IMO), said that perhaps alot of my problems are steming from my unhealthy eating habits. She said they could all be connected. I'm getting bloodwork done to see if I may have diabetes and also PCOS. I've had abnormal periods for as far as I can remember unless I was on the pill. So getting back on the pill is a Godsend for me. I am also taking Wellbutrin to help with my depression. My mom was none too pleased about that because she's afraid I will become dependent on them or something and turn out like my cousin who has a lot of mental issues. I, on the other hand, am pleased with it so far and it seems to be working and getting me out of my funk. I'm focusing on nutrition and exercise right now to see if some of the ailments I may have may go away as I lose weight. Then I can focus on other things like getting a better job and so on...
Another thing I was happy about was being able to spend time with my two best friends. I hadn't seen Anitra in almost a month and Tera I've only seen once or twice since my birthday. It was nice to spend a day with them and their kids. Very refreshing. Then my dad called last night while on his "driving cross country tour" and said that instead of staying one night he's going to stay two and hoping to get a new bed for me because right now I'm sleeping on a futon and it's affecting my sleep I think. Anyway, I hope the rest of the summer works out much like this week did. :) Can't wait to see what the future brings!
I take meds to deal with depressiona and I feel better. Keep taking your meds as your Doctor says and you will begin to feel better. Sometimes we just need meds to help us get through a rough patch in our life. My Mom is a psychatric nurse and really believes in anti-depressents. Wellbutrin is a good one. I have taken it before. It tends to give you more energy to do things.
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up! Glad things are looking brighter for you :)
Thanks Jamie... I was going to ask if anyone had taken Wellbutrin before... I was a little hesitant at first because about a decade ago I was on Lexapro and I really did not like how that made me feel. I felt numb had no happy or sad feelings. I'm supposed to go back in a month to see if they need to up the dose or not. I'm just glad I can finally go to the doctor and get everything sorted out. :) Thanks for your support! It means alot :)
