OT--DEPRESSED

Call your surgeon, call your PCP, call a medical professional you trust.  You need to be evaluated for depression and probably get treatment.  You owe it to yourself and your child to take good care of yourself.  Depression is not a personal flaw- it is a medical illness that can be treated!  Depression is an imbalance of brain chemicals.  It CAN be treated!  Call your doctor ASAP!!!

I wanted to bump this up and say that I hope you are feeling better or at least have a plan for feeling better.  Yep, it takes a plan, and in my case that involves counseling and pills....LOL.  While the debate rages on about behavioral therapy vs chemical therapy, I just do both and keep on rolling-I don't care which one works as long as one or the other does...

I think on an awful scale emptiness is worse than feeling bad-at least bad means you feel something.  Empty is bleah bleah bleah.  Maybe the space you used to fill with food is rearing it's head now.  Remember, it's your space in your heart, and you can choose what to fill it with!
