Depression Understood Forums

Part of my issues has always been a very 'variable' thyroid. It's up, it's down, I wouldn't be surprised if it spins around, but the point is thyroid issues can cause issues both mentally and physically as if they are mood issues.

So it's not a surprise that my thyroid went through a storm and then kind of went into an exhaustion phase. I did catch this before it did any real harm. So now we are seeing if we can wean my thyroid into functioning on it's own. My guess is probably not.

I will probably be on replacement therapy the rest of my life. Fortunately, I'm non a good medicine. I've had a lot less 'mood' issues since I started the meds.

I am looking forward to returning to my replacement level in which I feel the best. Difficult week this week.
