Second Opinion

It's been a long while since I last wrote, the new job has taken up a lot of my time. I've been learning a lot and coming home tired every night.
I seem to have everything under control now - and even got a commendation from one of the ladies I work with about how well I'm doing. Always nice to know that I'm not mucking up completely.

Where life has taken a horrid turn is that my doctor believes that I will be on anti-depressants for the rest of my life. She is basing this decision on the fact that I have been unable to stop taking the pills for 2 days in a row.
She offered me no alternatives - despite me begging and almost breaking down and crying in her office. Just a simple message - give up trying.

I refuse to believe that this is what I'm stuck with for the rest of my life. I once lived without medicinal assistance, and I can do that again, so a second opinion is on the menu.

So refuse it...and do what you know in your heart that you can do. It sucks to do it. It hurts to do it. It might be the most hellish, horrible, ungodly thing that you ever have to encounter.

But YOU will be the person that YOU know you are if you do it. And fighting is so much better than laying down and just letting something take over your life.

Think about you often and hope you're doing well. :) We all miss you! *squish*
