Update On My Journey With Depression

Hello!! I wanted to give an update on my fight with depression. I had a rough year with it. I tried several different things. All seemed to work at first and then I would end up depressed again. Then, back in September, I went to the gynecologist. I told her how I was feeling and she did tests on me. She found out my hormones were wayyyyy off. She put me on meds for that. Now, two months later, I am doing so much better!!! I am more even and I just feel positive and back to my self. I am so thankful to my doctor who listened and tried to find out what was going on with me. I am happy and my kids can tell a big difference in my energy. I just want to encourage everyone to keep seeking opinions until you find out what is wrong. Depression does exist and it is a medical condition but also sometimes, other medical factors (esp. in women who have had kids) can be there too. I am amazed at the difference in my health. Everyone be your own advocate and pls never be embarrassed to share details about how you are feeling with your doctor.
