AMPED!

I'm not feeling particularily good today. My doctor put me on an additional anti depressant since I was so low last week, and this med is working too good. I'm pretty amped and feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest. I feel like I'm crawling out of my own skin. Very uneasy feeling. I'm going to see my pcp today, and see my psychiatrist on Friday for a better remedy of drugs. This is very hard for me. I wish that I could feel calm and content. It's been quite a while. It's very hard to admit that I am sick. I now know why people with depression and different mental diseases go off meds. It's very scary to start new ones, don't know what type of side affects there may be on your body, and if it will even work! However, the alternative is worse, and that's why I keep plugging along, even talking with doctors I don't care for.
I feel like a bad mother and wife, knowing that I can't get all the joy I can possible get from my wonderful Josh and Asa. I feel like I am alone in this feeling. I have the best family ever, however, still feel like this, and wish that I could control these sad and manic feelings. NOT!
Well, that went somewhere I didn't particularly want to go, but do feel better after writing this. Not so amped. I got my self depressed now!!! ARGHHHHG
Can't wait to see my boys after I get off work at 12pm(thank God I only work part time)and hope to have a nice day outside watching Asa playing in his sand box. I need to get some sun too. Shake 'n bake!!!

Oh Sissy, if I could take away your pain, I would do it in a heartbeat. I love you so much and am so damn proud of you for being strong enough to plug along and see doctors you don't like. I'm with you every step of the way, but YOU are the strong one who has to do all the hard work. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! YOU'VE COME A LONG WAYS BABY!!! (Virginia Slims?)

I really have no idea what that must feel like. The only depression I've ever had was some baby blues after Rilee was born. I'm so happy that you keep going even when you don't want to. That takes a lot of courage. Good job!

I am sorry to hear you aren't feeling yourself right now.

Depression can affect us all - I sometimes get depressed but it always passes eventually.

You do have a wonderful family and I have gotten to know Cameo quite well over the past 6 months. She loves you to bits as do the rest of your family - take strength in this and hopefully it will help you to get well again.

You aren't alone - please don't feel like you are!

I hate doctors too but at the end of the day they only want to help!

I will say a little prayer for you to get well soon.
