You are not alone. With everything that is happening in world and the economy I think everyone has felt like you at some point. I would suggest, first-get a full blood workup from either your primary care dr. or gyn to rule anything else out. Keep in mind, some medications deplete your system and vitamins and supplements are necessary depending on some medications that you are taking.
2ndly-Talk with them openly and honestly, they are there to help you and can only do so if you talk with them.
3rdly-keep a journal that obviously only for your eyes. Be TOTALLY, BRUELTALLY honest about anything and everything. It will help to vent and get your thoughts out on paper. This will help you to focus or at least try to figure out what might be the triggers for you that start you feeling sad.
- take baby steps...set small, little goals and rewards for yourself. What I mean is think of something that would make you feel better. could be to make sure you put your makeup on each day or get dressed each day, put an outfit on that you would normally not wear for a casual stay at home day. small little things.
I'm speaking from experience. There was a time that I was talking with my pcp and I felt like I was at the end of my rope and that I was not coping with things very well and had a breakdown right then and there. I started balling my eyes out. Fortunately he knew of some of what was happening he researched and found a medication that I could take as I needed it as I am on other meds that most anti depressants interact with. It helped for the short term. Enough for me to get some strength to make myself get up and get dressed each day and at least get out of the house for a couple of hours.
I'm not saying that was the cure all for me but it was a start and sometimes it takes just that small kick in the a$$ to get you going. I hope this makes some sense and that it helps in some way. Hugs to you. |
