Just some quick updates.

Figured I'd give you some updates before I went to my club meeting.
My dose of Zoloft was recently upped. Now it's about where most people have it. We'll see if that helps.
The anxiety has mostly leveled out for now but I keep having a lot of episodes of depression that last for days at a time. Before I definitely would have episodes of depression, but normally not this many in a row. So I feel heavy and don't really have tons of motivation to do things anymore, but I think I'm starting to crawl out of that hole for now. I guess we'll see.
I have had urges to self harm but have been able to beat them. I don't feel suicidal right now. Even though I am struggling a bit right now I do have more optimism that I can get through this because I am at least taking control more.
I am getting a new counselor next semester because mine was a graduate intern and she's graduating. My current counselor said she's full-time, so I guess I won't have much of a risk of losing her. I'm really scared I won't like her, though. I still don't like the APRN I'm seeing because she's really weird. I don't think our personalities click, but she's the only APRN there and I need the meds, so I'm SOL.
I am tired a lot, tired tired tired. Always always always.
I also gained weight. I've never weighed this much and I feel so awful about it. I'm considering joining the gym next semester but I probably will end up backing out as normal. Blah. Feel fat.
But the semester's winding down so I'm almost done with things for now, looking forward to a vacation!

Hopefully the increase in your medication will help! If after a few weeks though and it hasn't I would suggest bringing it up and letting them know that you're still feeling this way. At least the anxiety part seems to be pretty much under control now though! Keep up the great work on fighting the self harm urges! I'm sure things with the new councilor will be just fine. Working with new people at first is always different but I'm sure after a few visits things will be fine! As for your being tired a lot, if you haven't brought this up to anyone I would. Hope you figure out what is causing you to be tired so much! Besides joining a gym, you could do like pushups and situps in your dorm as well!
Vacation, all I ever wanted! Vacation, had to get away! :dem:Posted December 8th 2014 at 05:01 PM by Thereishope
