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.
I love you so much & enjoyed being with you…
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 :-)
It’s going to work out!!
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.
