Denial

It's amazing to me how easy it is to be in denial and not even know it! Iv'e been dealing with some emotional and anxiety issues if that's what you want to call it. Iv'e been told for years that I have PTSD but always thought that I was ok and could manage. My mood swings have been terrible especially at that time of the month. I would snap at my family and felt so bad about it I cried myself! But couldn't control it. I went to the Dr. and she prescribed prozac and I started taking it in January but didn't feel any better, I wanted to to stay home and I slept alot! I'm a pretty outgoing person so that's not normal for me. After realizing that prozac wasn't for me I went back and asked for something different and she gave me Wellbutrin, Iv'e been on it for a week now and I feel really good!! I'm up bright and early, I have more energy and I don't see myself "snapping" at my family. I'm not writing this to tell everyone to get on anti depressants I'm just saying that I was in denial for so long and thought that I didn't need anything and because of that I suffered. I am so glad that I came to terms that I do need help and I DO feel better. I hope I continue to feel this way!
Thanks for listening.

I think it is awesome you realized you had a problem and took the necessary steps to get the help you need. Keep up the great work!

Good for you!!! 

It's really hard to be assertive in asking for help when we feel so bad, even tho that is when we really need to!  (At least, that's how it is for me.)  I commend you!!!!  I love the smile I can "hear" in reading how you are feeling already.

Enjoy life!

 Thanks for the support Ladies! It took me a while to come to terms with it but I'm glad I did

So happy to hear your good news.  When we're depressed or anxious we can get into such a muddle we just don't think straight.  Congrats on being strong for yourself.  Just the fact that you are on this discussion board and taking postivie steps for yourself says a lot.

So glad you are feeling better!  Maybe your post will help others as well :)
