I have been put through the wringer the last couple of days. I have been helping a friend while she copes with some medical issues and dealing with some of my own (she has been helping me as well). Luckily my friend is doing ok so emotionally I feel much better on that account.
As for myself, things could be better. I have been having issues regaining a significant amount of weight I lost. I finally went in to doctor's and all my tests came back normal. Which would be great if I wasn't having all these issues. It is not just weight loss, it is also, loss of appetite, nausea, lightheadedness, dizziness, a feeling of tighness in my chest...
Now I get a whole new battery of tests to rule out any physical issues but my pcm thinks that this is all due to my medication and the depression and she wants me to talk to my pdoc about trying something else. She worries this might turn into an eating disorder. I can't handle switching meds right now. I am finally stable, and considering the awful side effects every time I have been asked to try a new med, I really do not want to get on that crazy ride again.
Sorry for the rambling, I am just annoyed and frustrated and oh so tired of the many ways depression tries to ruin my life.
