I know it's been a long time since I've posted. The depression I had been battling landed me in the hospital. I didn't hurt myself, but I was seriously thinking about it. I spent two weeks on the psychiatric ward and many of my medications were changed. Now I am taking Lithium and Effexor XR with my regular health medications. I made friends with a few people on the ward, which helped pass the time.
Once I was released back home I realized that I wasn't as better as I thought I was. I slept more than I should have and was still depressed. It took a couple of weeks but I was finally feeling better. Then I got sick, not just once, but four times in a row. They used different antibiotics and now, after what seemed like forever, I feel better.
In the last few days I have been exercising with the hopes it will help my mental and physical health. My dad and I cleaned out the cupboards and the fridge and bought healthy groceries. So far it's going well. A couple of weeks after I got out of the hospital the doctor said I had lost 12 lbs. Plus I have a few more in the past few days. It helps that I haven't had much of an appetite since I started the Lithium. I've found most of my exercises on (my guilty pleasure) Pinterest. Some of the pins are full of empty promises (Lose 10 lbs over 2 days, etc.) But if you check them out you can find good ones.
Anyway, what have I forgotten? Christmas was good, a lot of people showed up. New Years was boring, I didn't even make it until midnight. I can't really think of anything else.
Hope you enjoyed the holidays and sorry it took so long for this post.
Welcome back :)
