When it rains, it pours

This has been a rough summer.  I'm a nursing major, so I understand that school will be a near-constant source of stress.  Then add to the fact that I had to deal with the deaths of 2 of my cousins dying within 3 weeks of each other.  I've been spending most of my time since I got home from my clinical days at home crying and feeling extremely depressed.  I feel like I've been hit by a bullet train of depression and grief and I'm getting really frustrated with feeling this way. 


School is starting up again in a couple of weeks.  I don't need my senior year of college to be crippled by depression.  I don't know if it is my hypothyroidism causing this, grief, depression or a mixture of all of the above. All I know is that I need help, but I don't even know where to turn for help.

Matthew 6: 24-34


Read these verses. They have helped me greatly in my life. I love verses 28, 33-34.


Good luck.

Yep, it's time to see the doctor!!  I be in your senior year means you've go a lot invested in this course of study.  Perhaps it's time yo use what you've learned, go to those who know more, and to Him who can help more.


People who work in the medical field amaze me.  There is something about you, your desire to help others, your drive to pursue such a profession . . . I am amazed and forever grateful for the work you do.

I am being treated, but I've been on the same level of replacement hormone for several years.  I'm beginning to wonder if I need the dosage increased.  I was quite bad off about 3 years ago when I was first diagnosed.  Doctor after doctor kept putting me on antidepressants without bothering to do any labs.  The antidepressants only made me quit ill and increased my then-current thoughts of self harm.  I lost about 45 pounds that first year I was put on synthroid, but now I've put it all back on and then some.


But yeah, I'll be calling the clinic in the morning to see how fast they can fit me in.

If you've got a doc treating your hypothyroidism, get to him fast.  You may be way out of balance.  Thyroid is a tricky devil.  Don't wait-----good luck.
