You are SOOO not alone! KNOW THAT!!! You ...Honey... You are SOOO not alone! KNOW THAT!!! You are NOT ALONE! There is nothing wrong with you for needing help... needing something extra to get your body functioning properly. You have been through SO much! More than many of us can ever imagine! Just like Miranda said, Adrenal Fatigue could very well be something you are struggling with! That is often times linked with thyroid problems! I have dealt with Adrenal Fatigue as well as a low thyroid for years. The only problem is, many doctors don't recognize or know a lot about it. A very good book to read is called Adrenal Fatigue by Dr. James Wilson. You can find it on Amazon. It gives many helps and pointers on how to recover. I also think if you are not getting the help you need from a doctor to get on an antidepressant - you need a new doctor. YOU know your body more than he does. If you can't get out of bed or if you purposely avoid going to the store at certain times of the day, then those are signs that you need help. I know.. because I have been in that exact place sweetie. That place is a sad, dark place... and you NEED to get back to yourself for YOU and for your FAMILY! Don't allow someone ELSE to let you stay STUCK there! It's too easy to let yourself stay stuck there... because life is so dang hard sometimes! You've got to find your glimmer again... and climb out. I know you don't even know me... and I'm sorry if I sound like a freak! But I've BEEN where you are, and I just heard myself in you when I read this post. I want so bad for you to be yourself again. HUGS!!! <br />- LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13616512035909036625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538891874746012582.post-45389003335530548742011-02-25T06:51:27.215-06:002011-02-25T06:51:27.215-06:00I'm sorry. I'm also sorry I missed this bl...I'm sorry. I'm also sorry I missed this blog before. I will bookmark it now.<br /><br />Something else occurred to me. Like you need a reason to be depressed and exhausted, since you pretty much wrote the book on life trials, but because of these life trials and significant health issues, you might want to take a look into adrenal fatigue. I haven't seen a dr for it, but I have enough causes and symptoms to have safely diagnosed myself. I'm treating it with diet and extra rest, both of which I know are as much a pain/struggle/impossible for me as they are for you, but something simple as letting myself lay down for 15 minutes after a particularly long rehearsal is refreshing. I eat foods that are supposed to promote healing, of course take my vitamin d (which I'm sure you already are).<br /><br />It was just a thought... idk if it matters or not if you have a "label" since you have plenty but wherever possible, you need to take care of your body. if that means the laundry piles up an extra day that's ok. it IS hard to do the job for an entire family, not one of us can be superwoman though we may try.<br /><br />love ya!Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121319921575498260noreply@blogger.com
