So today I went to my dr about both my ADD and my depression. I was a bit nervous and kinda stressed out about talking to her about all this. But that's what drs are for, to make you healthy.
We talked for about a half hour mainly about my depression. Which she decided to treat first before my ADD, and I couldn't agree more. I was right about both making the other worse, so first the most severe of the two has to be addressed.
She is starting me in Lexapro today, for a month. After a month I am to go back for a follow up and then test and treat the ADD. So tonight I'm to take the lexapro, and into the Labyrinth I will go. Will I find Jerrerth? There's no telling, but we will see if it can turn this extrovert back to that extrovert that everyone loves so much.
I'm very hopeful that come this time next week I'll be ready for adventures with some friends, get to see a friend who is back in the states and I'm way more excited to see, work on the Falcon and try to enjoy my happiness... Even if it's a chemically treated happiness.. Thanks for the support and I may just have to blog everyday about the progress and the experience of being 31 and finally getting the help with the depression and ADD after years and years of self treatment via booze!!!
It'll be interesting to change the self medication tactic to something like this. If you keep blogging about it I'll keep reading about it....
ReplyDeleteI hope stuff goes well.
I've been off the booze for a year and a half , that was my meds back then . This is a whole new journey
ReplyDeleteDid you do any AA or anything like that? I was going to meetings for years, I haven't been in quite a while.
ReplyDeleteYes I still go occasionally. I havnt been to a meeting in a few months but when I need to, I know where to go.
ReplyDeleteI got a lot out of it when I was going. I think they tend to look down on people like me though that tend to stop going to meetings. But what I did learn and get out of it I still use to this day.
