A Light at the End of the Tunnel
- Posted by Theresa on February 16th, 2006 filed in My Musings
I am starting to feel better. I feel like the cloud is lifting. I talked to my doctor on Tuesday and she is upping my dose of anti-depressants to help with my extreme tiredness and sleep disturbed nights. I feel better about work, although it is not where I want to be at least I feel like I can make it work for now.
How I will know I am no longer depressed:
- I will have energy
- I will sleep well at night
- I will be a forward thinker again
- My memory will improve
- My attitude will be optomistic
- I will feel content/satisfied/happy
- I will feel good about myself
- I will be able to look Jack* in the eye and not feel like he let me down
- I will be able to plan for the future
- The Life in Hell comic strip on my desk will be gone
- My Dream Board will return
- I will be able to look myself in the eye and say, “I like you.”
- I will talk nice to myself
- I won’t feel like such a drag and a whiner
- I will feel good about myself
- I will feel good about my relationships
- I will want to be with my friends more and by myself less

Hey Theresa, I know (from 30 years experience) that there is light at the end of the tunnell. I think I have been on every antidepressants available, sometimes they side effects are too much or they stop working. So when I have to stop one med, I just keep telling myself it will get better (at least when the new meds kick in)eventually and it does. I will be praying for you. Love Mary
