Depression update

I have been meaning to post an update on the depression front.

Things are getting better, a lot better.

I am feeling more and more like "Me" again.

Like the girl up above, the girl who felt joy at an instant.

The first three weeks of taking the medicine was a bit rough.

I felt like I had taken some cold medicine during the day.

Not awful, but still ugh.

My doctor had forewarned me of this, so I knew to expect it.

But expecting it and experiencing it are two different things.

My doctor was right though, at right about the three week mark I was feeling pretty remarkable.

It was as if a whole new world had opened up.

Less stress, anxiety and over all blah-ness.

I had a few days of feeling amazing but still not feeling quite up to snuff yet.

I knew, even before meeting with my doctor again, that my dosage needed to be tweaked a bit.

When I talked with her I told her that I was feeling better, but that if I was taking medicine for my depression I wanted to be feeling better than I was.

She understood and agreed completely.

Dosages were shifted and I am feeling oh so much better.

It's such a huge relief.

I'm happy to be getting this dealt with and to see how much the medicine is helping.
I feel more like myself than I have in a long time and it is spectacular.
K has noticed as well and has commented on how much happier and less stressed I am now.


It makes me wish that I would have noticed/known/done something about it sooner.
Oh well, that's the joy of hindsight, it's in 20/20.
For now though, seeing a brighter future is great.
I know that there will still be ups and downs, that's life, but knowing that I am doing something about it makes the world of a difference.
