Some of you may recall my wondering about going off my meds. Well... I tried it for about two days and nearly died! Not so much because of the emotional effects, but I had forgotten how big of a difference it made with the damn fibro pain. So I guess I won't be cutting that one out any time soon. As far as the depression goes, it comes and goes. It is mostly here but I am fighting it off the best I can. I really do worry that the way I am is going to effect my kids. I guess that seeing me take medicine isn't that big of a deal as long as we teach them that there are right and wrong times to do so. I guess I saw my mom swallowing large handfuls of pills morning and night as a child and I never turned to drugs. Well I have turned to prescription drugs that have been given to me by a doctor, but you know what I mean.
I know what you mean about your kids watching you. We have to talk to them about what drugs are for and when we take them. It's ok if you need some meds. Hang in there!!!
