Today I ventured into the world of antidepressants.

Life's been rough lately & I finally went to talk to a professional about. I saw a general practitioner today, who I really liked. He sat down with me & listened to what was going on & how I was feeling & decided antidepressants were something I should try.

I'm easing into it, just 5mg a day for a week & if that goes well I'm up to 10mg. I've got a follow up appointment 3 weeks from today, to see how I'm doing.

But, honestly, I'm a bit scared of it all. This is a major mood altering drug that I'll take everyday. I hope it helps...I don't like who I am right now. This depression & anxiety is just too much on the daily stresses of life.

There have been a few days where all I want to do is cry & will do so at the drop of a hat. Oh & getting out of bed on days like that aren't gonna happen.

So here I am...about 2 hours into my first antidepressant...we'll see how it goes.
