I had been experiencing some moderate anxiety and depression for a while now. I figured it was the typical things: poor diet, lack of exercise, excessive drinking etc. but then it got worse. Little things would set me off into a panicky, crying mess. I found a lump in my groin area in the right side one day and freaked out. Went to the doctor the next day who determined that it was a swollen lymph node that would need to be looked at by a surgeon. ( still getting that worked out). While I was there I got my doctor to put me on some meds for the depression and anxiety. These last few weeks have been rough. The medication has a laundry list of side effects and I seem to have experienced all of them. I feel thou that I am finally turning a corner. I feel like I might be at a place that is tolerable. Yes I'm tired. Given the chance I would probably be in bed all day. At least I have the guts to face these problems head-on.
