I have been struggling a lot lately with my depression. It has been at an all time low for several months now and I do not see a way out. I see a counselor once a week and more often than not, I’m crying because of something that is going on. I have figured out there are a couple people in my life that are part of the problem. No, I’m not pushing blame on them, but they pull all the good energy out of the room why they are around. Another person in my life means well but always tries to hard and never gives me what I need.
My neurology doctor and I have found a great medication for my migraines that also is supposed to help with the depression. I do not think it is helping for that at all. I have started seeing an internist to help with some issues. She found I am really low on my iron and vitamin D. I am on supplements for those but it hasn’t helped much. She also gave me a sleeping pill and thought that all my problems could be from a lack of sleep. Well, I have been taking everything consistently for a while now and don’t see a difference in anything. I’m kinda thinking thyroid again. My last test for that came back normal though. I really wish I knew what was going on with me. I see another doctor in June for something else and I’m going to talk to her about hormone imbalance.
My youngest daughter has been struggling a lot lately too. Actually, since before Covid hit. I do not know how to help her when I cannot help myself. I am trying to get her to open up to me but I seem to be talking to a brick wall. I’m probably going to get her in with a counselor soon too. However, and there always seems to be something, I am thinking I might wait until next school year to figure that out. She is supposed to be starting a new program for 8th grade so I am hoping that will bring her out of her shell.
