Hi Jodee
Thanx for posting and providing an insight into how you’re going.
Firstly, it is good that you’ve had your meds reviewed … because it was a loooooong time that you were on that one lot … I guess that would have been a tough time to change off one lot, have the washout effect and then commence on the new lot. Congratulations and well done for getting through that phase.
It is unfortunately the illness of depression that makes us beat ourselves up over things. But from what I’ve read in your post, you do have a lot of positives shining through; your opening sentence alone is testament to that. It’s also brilliant that you have a need to be busy, there’s nothing wrong with that either.
And good on you for taking on this surgery for to purpose to improve your health … you’re taking such a positive step by doing this as you know how important it is to look after yourself. But hey, don’t beat yourself up about having to go on the diabetes meds … you are not letting yourself down, you are taking charge to help yourself at this time.
That is another positive Jodee. I’ll also add here that it is courageous of your to opt to have the surgery, because not everyone is up for that kind of thing. I’ve had my share of operations throughout my life and I know what it’s like to be in hospital for a period of time. There’s also no shame in wanting to cry (or even getting to the stage where you do cry) … again I see it as a positive release.
Again thanx for posting and I hope that some of the response I’ve provided makes some sense for you. And please write back with anything else you’d like to add.
Cheers
Neil
