Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I didn't know a medication would stop working after such a length of time. I had the opposite problem with a new medication my doctor prescribed and after just a short time I was sleepwalking and my mind was not right. I have a Friday appointment. Appreciate the well wishes.
I have an appointment this Friday. Hoping the doctor can figure out something I can take for the depression because what I was on caused bad side effects-like sleepwalking.
I was on a depression medication but I started sleepwalking while on it and it scared me. I had never ever done that before. I am not currently seeing a counselor.
I barely sleep three hours at at time these days and that's with taking sleep medications. I have a bad habit of waking up and then trying to watch TV to fall back asleep. I couldn't nap during the day if I tried...unless I am at the beach!
I was in a great routine until my cat had to be put down and I adopted a new one. Now my sleep is all over the place, my cat keeps me up at night meowing non stop for can cat food and cuddling with me. It's so adorable but..I am tired throughout the day. I'm probably getting 5-6 hours of restless sleep verses my normal 8 hours restful sleep. I think my exercise routine has been lacking my motivation as well. Does anyone nap? I thought about taking a required daily nap, but that doesn't work with my weekday schedule. Guess I'm going to have to put my foot down and tell my cat NO.
I think that you should consult the doctor before taking those pills. Anyway, have you tried the keto diet?
Many people say that this diet is something special. Maybe because of the daily routine it has. The worst I saw it's that people are working on themselves and can't improve. I had the same problem, so I had to visit the doctor. There they told me that I should try and make my daily routine. So, I looked for a site and found Bethlehem PA. Now, I'm improving day by day.
It depends on your doctor. Mine said pads, but I'm a few days out and so I switched back to my cup. Listen to your body.
Write down all the doctors you visited so you contact them for info on your weight at that visit. It's not 5 years of trying to lose weight usually. The insurance wants to make sure this is a long-time problem. Some insurances require a 6 month weight loss program that you usually do after you start. A good hospital will make you go thru a 6 month program - nutritionists visits, medical testing, psych eval. and 2 support group visits. With Covid a lot of places allowed you to use online support groups. That way you're well educated before surgery. It seems like a lot of time but it's not and you really need all that prep work. I've known self-pay people that had no waiting time and a lot of them failed over the years! Good luck!
I feel your pain! I could easily stay in bed for days but my husband would get me up. You need to see a psych and a therapist to get you started. The first step is the hardest. If you can't afford docs, drugs and therapists you could try exercise. Even just walking will help release endorphins to ease depression. You've admitted the problem - now you need to take the next step! We're here for you. I've been depressed for years and been on meds for it. Feel free to message me - I will be your personal cheerleader! Linda
I know I felt like a melted wax person for awhile. ;(
