I was very subtle in the way that I told you that I started taking an antidepressant. I thought that medicine would reduce my bouts of anxiety, and lessen my trips to the emotional gutter. I may have been wrong.
This weekend was ever so anxiety ridden. Sure, I had reason to be anxious, but my depression was over the top as well. In the back of my mind, I have been wondering if the medication has instigated a change of the wrong kind.
In my distraught state, I retreated to Lil Sis’ house. We ended up going for a hike in the hills near her home. There is nothing like fresh air, and a little bit of sunshine to bring new light to my dreary thoughts.
Thanks, Lil Sis, for shining on my cloudy day.

Juls, give the medication more time to work. If you still feel depressed, head back and see if maybe there’s another antidepressant. They aren’t always a one-pill-fits-all and most doctors go for the most popular and then work back to the most effective. The brain is very much a hit-or-miss organ. (I come from a family of psychiatric nurses….)

Huh… I don’t know how I feel about turning to medication for anxiety. I hope you are doing the right thing for you and everything works out!
I do know, however, that for you, everything is going to be OK. Gotta believe :-)

What Anne said. There’s a reason the market has a plethora of solutions. But you are a nurse so you know that.
I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you Lil Sis for keeping Jul’s company and support. Julie, I am sorry to hear how all is going. Hang in there as best you can.
