I fe...You nailed it, everything you just described. I feel sick all the time, some of it just being super complainey about aches and pains, some of it actually being sick - but probably worsened by the depression. I think being depressed just weakens your immune system, and then you have even more to complain about! Crying for no reason, no interest in anything... I guess I should know better. I think you're right - going to a therapist and being on meds does make things manageable, even if it's not a permanent "fix". I'm glad you did it and are feeling better. I think I'll do the same. Thanks for being a voice of reason for me. You have no idea how many times you've played that role in my life. I appreciate it. Love you:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09720022400918053257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448624606158231425.post-33299771634302499552009-10-19T11:00:32.213-04:002009-10-19T11:00:32.213-04:00Oh sweetie, I'm sorry you're feeling so do...Oh sweetie, I'm sorry you're feeling so down. I can relate to a lot of what you're feeling. I wound up going back to a therapist a little over a month ago and now see her weekly. She doesn't tell me anything new- I know more than she does about how I feel or my past- but she is a professional authority voice outside of my own head that can remind me of the things I already know. And sometimes she does help me realize new things. Its just good to have an unbiased outlet. I also got back on my medicine. I had gone off of it for about 6 months and was okay for a while and then noticed the thoughts creeping back in and the lack of ability or desire to do anything. I was crying all the time for no reason and complaining about everything. I was "sick" all the time. Jared kept telling me to call the doc for another presciption (i let it run out) but I was so down even making the phone call seemed too overwhelming. I was laying in the middle of my living room floor crying with my kids crawling over me begging me to play with them. Jared was having to take off of work to take care of me/them. He MADE me call the doctor, find a therapist, and get out of the house. Just feeling like I was making an effort to change and be better helped me actually FEEL better. Nothing new, no new revelations, but back to where life is manageable and i'm working towards feeling stable and happy. Functional. Alive. Back on track.
