Physical Illness to Emotional Illness

by

Emotionally I don’t cry much anymore.  I have assumed for some time that it was the product of the anti-depressants because, well duh, they keep me happy.   But, I’m telling you, right now, being physically sick made me cry.  I was so sick on Wednesday night and Thursday that I literally cried. 

As it all turned out, apparently it was strep but man, I felt like rotten awful dirt.  Which doesn’t really take much if you want to know the truth.  Either way, I slept most all day because a horrible steroid shot kept me awake all night last night.  I’m planning to go to bed soon in hopes of a normal day tomorrow..ahhh, normal?  What is that?

I have to make an appointment to see my therapist and doctor this week as it is medication refill time plus I need my records from him to check on having lapband surgery.  So, if that happens, you can guarantee, I’m going to be blogging some happiness, some sadness and probably some pain.  Oh well, that’s that!

I am going to a meeting Thursday night to see if I even qualify but apparently the nurse things I should be good to go.  I have to get to feeling better and my oh my, it has to happen soon!

So, that’s emotions in a nutshell…..what about you guys?  Do the holidays help you relax or exacerbate depression and anxiety?

And, one more thing…

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS GIVE AWAY - Starts December 1st at midnight and goes through…..December 12th at midnight.  I have ten blogs, three of them have a contest running on them and the contests are different each day. 

All the information you need to enter can be found on the websites:  Mom~E~Centric, Mom is Teaching and Education Uncensored.

I look forward to seeing all of you there!
