it's been awhile

I guess it's been awhile since I've written on this blog. I finished the bottle of St. John's Wort that I had and didn't really feel like it had been helping. I didn't really feel any different after I stopped.

Things with my kids and family have been overwhelming lately. We are trying to get a diagnosis for my son and it has been taking a lot of time and money. I think I've been waiting for a week where I don't already have other appointments for the kids (ha! when will that be??) before I schedule an appt. with my Dr. I'm also just not sure what I will tell him. Seems like they kind of expect me to have my own idea of what to do to help my depression and I have run out of ideas.

I haven't felt as depressed lately as just hopeless and irritable. I guess that kind of goes hand in hand with the whole depression package, though.

I just haven't really had anything new to say on here. It's just kind of the same old, same old. And I'm tired. So I've kind of set it aside for a bit.

Thanks for your comment, Aqua, and for asking how I'm doing. :)

Hopefully I will think of something else to write about soon.

Hi Deepblue,
I am glad to hear from you regardless of whether you think you have anything to say. I am sorry you are feeling so hopeless and irritable. You are right that is part of the "package". My moods shift between depressed and hopeless to irritable and angry, to anxioous and depressed, to anxious....and so on.

I hope you get the diagnosis of your son straightened out, and I also wish for you the opportunity and money for self-care that you need for you.
Take care,
