Depression: Be aware of the symptoms

30 March 2009 3 Comments

Some time ago I mentioned that something was going on with me but I was not prepared to write about it, well now I’m.

For quite some time I was under the weather. I was sad, nervous, fed up with everything, no patience to take care of the house, the kids, the husband, I was full with everything. Although I knew what these signs were I was hoping they would go away by themselves, but they didn’t. A depression was diagnosed and medication was prescribed. It is a very light medication, only one pill a day that makes all the difference.

Having had a depression in the past makes me feel more aware of all the signs and ways to overcome depression. Although I tried to overcome the symptoms by myself, the need for medication was a reality. Under medication I’m aware of the level of depression I was already in and it gives me space and will to overcome this as soon as possible.

What were the signs (symptoms) I had that alert me:

  • Extreme sadness
  • Crying all the time sometimes just…crying without a motive
  • Lack of strength to get up everyday
  • Fed up of people around me and, I know it sounds terrible, but it included husband and kids
  • I felt exhausted physically and mentally
  • Lack of interest for activities with the kids or with anyone else
  • Lack of appetite
  • Hating myself
  • Blaming others for my state of mind
  • Too much aware of death issues and not caring if I was going to die or not

Well I was really getting inside a dark world and I now I know that I should have asked for medical help before. As I mentioned before I’m only taking one pill a day and I’m not attending any psychological appointments. As I had one depression in the past, as I know what I have and accept it, as I’m having a fantastic reaction to the medication I don’t feel the need for extra appointments. I need to take this pill at least for four months; depending on my evolution the medication time can be extended.

I really feel this medication was my savior and, although I don’t like to rely on medication, I feel I need it and right now I can say I can’t get on with my life without it.
