So, riding on the heels of my previous post about depression and this house. I thought I would share something. Now I haven’t been intentionally keeping it a secret as I am not embarrassed. It’s just not something that I felt like blogging about. Plain and simple.
I have been dealing with major mood swings and the urge to slaughter my husband in his sleep with a spoon and anger for the past few months. More like half a year. I didn’t think it was that bad until the day that I completely snapped about a small minuscule piece of dirt on the kitchen floor.
My mom, step-dad and Mike had a mini intervention with me in the fall - September I believe it was.. when I was the at the worst, “fuck the world” mode. I wasn’t happy with a single thing… I then took the opportunity to take a step back and realize exactly what I was doing to my family and myself. I was, in someway, dealing with depression.
I have since been taking antidepressants for my mood swings and anger. I don’t yell half as much as I had been, my patience has increased and I can deal with stressful situations much better then previously. I feel better. I have more ambition and I am happier, which in turn has improved my marriage over the past 6 months.
And not to mention, I have to drink only HALF as much as I used to until I am a belligerent drunk. Life is grand.
I know this is an old post, but anyway’s, yes it’s good to know that I am not alone,I’ve been dealing quite alot with similar type thing’s as well since thebirth of our son, it’s been almost 2 yrs.,and yesmy husband can be quite annoying,but who know’s perhap’s I could benefit from some anti-depressant’s!
