Depression, facebook and Me

[Mimi]

Well having my own FB didn't really work for me after a while. I don't really have anyone there to talk to... so I eventually went back to my daughter's site to see what was going on then it began all over again. So....

I just blocked FB on my computer. I realize i have way too much time on my hands and I have an addictive personality plus my meddling ways was not the solution, but just the means for a continuation.

I have to go to the doctors to get my hormones checked for my thyroid and any other imbalances. So maybe that will shed some light.

So I find myself, again a little depressed, I know what my triggers are, but despite my age and quasi intelligence, I slip into these patterns of deception and irresponsible behavior. It's like it takes on a world of its own.


Thanks for listening.

Since as you say, you figure that you are in a mid-life crisis, it is a good plan to go to the doctor and just see what the hormone situation is like.

I am in full menopause but I know in the time leading up to that I had trouble with coping with a lot of things in my life. To quote an old saying
" it was like my life was going to hell in a handbasket".

Now that I am throught the transition stage things have gotten better. It did royally screw up my life for several years.

My first pdoc was very thorough and was often sending me in for blood tests. Just to keep close track, in case there was some chemical imbalance that they needed to treat. For me, I just had to ride it out. It was a very rocky ride for too long a time.

So going and finding out where you stand, especially if there is some way that some medical intervention could help you cope with all the feelings that are going on in your life.

Hang in there.
