Autistic Hedgehog

I am still here. Still alive. I’ve just been struggling with depression a lot lately.

For a little while it seemed like I might be able to go off my depression meds. They weren’t helping that much and I thought maybe if I treated the fibro, that would be enough. Only the medicine change to treat the fibro didn’t work, and then I went off my depression meds, too. I kept trying to fight my low mood, because I didn’t want to accept that I needed to go back on meds. I’ve been on medication my entire life, literally, and I get so tired of it always hanging over me. The problems and the side effects and all of that.

Then something happened at the beginning of the week that sent me into a meltdown and I had no choice but to accept it. I’m on a new medication now, one that’s supposed to treat both fibro and depression, and I’m stabilizing somewhat. 

I hope to get back to AH next week. For the weekend I’ll be closing the inbox, and reopening once I get it cleared out. As well, I have an idea for April this year, that I’ll be sharing soon, so stay tuned.
