Doing okay but could be better

Wow, I can't believe it's been over a year since I have made a journal entry. This could be a useful tool for me if I made use of it. About five days ago I cut back on my Nortryptaline and it seems to be going okay. No major withdrawl or worsened depression. Yes I am depressed but I dont' think it's any worse than usual.  And the Nortryptaline may be contributing to my high blood pressure as well as heavy periods.  Those issues absolutely must be addressed so that I can go to work.  
The good news is that I now have a job working nine hours a week at the health food store.  This is, I think, week number seven and so far it is going well, although I missed some work last week due to feeling light headed probably from my period.
I still need to see a doctor for all of this and I did try calling one number today although they were not taking new patients, so.....I would really prefer a woman doctor if I can find one.  
And it's nice to reconnect with others here at DS. It's nice to hear that I have been missed and I also see that posting has not worsened my depression---in fact it feels good to connect with others who I can relate to.

Welcome back. It has been a while. I hope the doctors can get the blood pressure under control. That sounds scary. I want to wish you a Merry Christ-mas.
