Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
i got my blood test results the other day. the good news is that i am very healthy with nearly everything in the normal range. my cholesterol was up a little bit but thats not surprising considering what ive been eating and how much weight i put on while taking seroquel.
it didnt provide any answers as to why im so tired and sleep so much though.
i have started back at work. not at my regular job. im doing some casual work for a little bit its on a day to day basis and ive told them i dont want more than 3 days a week. i can also say no if im not up to it. so far so good. i was really tired and i was surprised at how unfit ive become. anxiety wasnt a problem, the only thing i need to work on now is my stamina so i can do a little more. after my first day i came home and slept for 15 hours!

I'm not on any anti-depression meds. I take Valerian to relax and it's wonderful.

I am sure the blood tests showed good iron levels ETC, .. but it can't hurt to take a multivitamin once a day.
I'm glad to hear all the good news. Thanks for the post.
