Re: Confession Thursday

  • My grandma wasn't very "with it" yesterday :(  She still made breakfast for everyone and did presents and all that but I can tell she is going downhill.  I tried to really take time to enjoy being with her yesterday and remember everything clearly because I'm afraid it was her last Christmas.  She is 86, has lived a full life, outlived everyone her age in our family, and is a devoutly religious woman---so, I'm not sad for her, just selfishly sad for me.  I wish she could be around forever!!

  • I am the ONLY person here at work, and it's freaking me out!  I locked myself on the floor, but I still hear things.  It's probably just printers spooling, but I have my headphones on to drown it out.  So if someone actually comes in, I'll probably freak out even more... or die.

    Lol!!  Just keep talking to us today :)  Only like 2 people in my office so it's even more eerily quiet than usual.

    I'll keep posting! I wish there was at least 1 more person here, just 1 and I'd feel better.

  • I just want to go home and watch the final season of Dexter.  DH got it for Christmas and it's all I can think about!
  • I confess I'm so disgusted with some of my family and my in-laws that I don't want to go home to Ohio anymore for holidays.

  • I confess that Monday my therapist pretty much diagnosed me with depression and I went to the doctor this morning to get put onto anti-depressants. I'm having a hard time accepting this and coming to terms with it. I feel like there's something I should have been able to do to prevent this. I don't want to have to rely on drugs to feel like a normal person, but things just aren't okay the way they are right now without them.

  • @xxjen015 I have taken anti depressants for anxiety before, it's nothing to be ashamed of.  They made me feel like myself again.  Once you get back on track mentally, you'll be glad you took them.  I didn't know how bad I felt until I felt good again.

    I bought an anxiety and phobia self help book that walked me through some of the science behind what was going on in my head and I was finally able to detach it from being a good or bad thing, rather, I just looked at it objectively and didn't feel "bad" anymore about relying on drugs.  It happens to a LOT more people than you realize and isn't a reflection on you as a person, so try not to get down on yourself.  (I also learned that most of my mental "issues", if not all of them, stemmed from setting impossibly high standards for myself and being super attached to perfectionism.  Once I let that go, things got a lot better for me personally.)

    Hugs to you!!

  • @xxjen015 Don't feel bad or ashamed about taking a step to better yourself.  You're doing what you think is best for you and that's all that matters.  You deserve to feel good and be happy.  Like @frank139 said, it's a lot more common than you think.  Both my mom and brother suffer from depression and anxiety and I sometimes find myself feeling that way too.  I hope the medication helps you out!

  • @xxjen015 Don't feel bad.  Now you have answers to why you haven't been feeling so great.  I have friends who are on medication and you would never know, unless they told you.  You'll see a change in yourself for the better.  We're all here for you if you need additional support!
  • Thanks guys :) I always know I have you guys to lean on!! <3
