Depression Visits Again
Much thanks to HealthyPlace.com and an anonymous donor for donating money for my Walk for NAMI this weekend. To find out more visit Super Bipolar Brain and Body.
I walked this weekend even though I visited my psychiatrist last week and she told me that I'm depressed. She put me on Pristiq until I can get over the hump of it. I have just been feeling sad and alone because of my father's death. This holiday season will be particularly hard on me. I always had my dad. He always called me on my birthday, which is this week, and we talked every few days. It's been difficult not being able to call him and ask him questions and to hear his voice. I wanted to spend Thanksgiving with him this year since he was finally living in the States, but that is not meant to be. And then there's Christmas. I wanted to spend Christmas with him, too.
But, it wasn't meant to be and I have to deal with that. I guess I'm not dealing as well as I thought I was. But I know it will get better.
