[Deflating Diva]

To all who wonder what is going on well honestly I am in a very strange place for me. Normally I do not have depression but is seems as of late I am experiencing a major bout. I have been to the Doctor as I could see this was not getting better on my own. He has advised me to seek counseling and a new hormone and an antidepressant/sleep aid. I started gaining back weight and he said it will be normal for a few weeks and not to panic. I will be around but not as often as I should with the new job and getting Grandmas legal affairs in order. I am not falling off the wagon ( confession I have on occasion last week) just taking a step back to regroup. I thank you all for the love and compassion that you have shared with me over the past year plus. It seems that I am beating myself up for things I have no control over and right now I can't be freaking out over a pound or two. My mental state has to heal. I'll be watching from a distance so unless you are having a mental break down too you have no excuses... It's not a break down just a restructure for fragmentation. LOL

Debby, you know what you need more than anyone else. I hope you get the time and regroup you need, so we can have your humor back here again. I'll miss it in the meantime.

:hug :hug you have been throught a lot. Take care of you

when you went to see that doc did he do blood work to see if there was a medical reason for all this? I can think of two right off the top of my head anemia and hypothyroid that could cause all your symptoms. Both are standard blood tests for anyone being admitted for depression as they are ofthen misdoagnoised as depression because they can cause depression symptoms.

Ask the doctor to screen you for sleep apnea

Diva, please ask your doctor to screen you for sleep apnea. It is VERY common for women our age who are also overweight. And it can be THE cause of depression.

Hope you're back to feeling perky and sassy in no time. You've been through alot lately, and so you need to rest. Time heals all wounds.

Debbie.....You have had to go through so much during the past year that it is no wonder you are having problems. You hang in there, girl, and take care of your health first, then bring your sassy self back here. We will truly miss you while you are gone so I hope you will check in with us every once in a while to update us on your health. Remember we are your second family here and will be waiting up for you. Lots of good thoughts and prayers coming your way from all of us.
