Medicated depression, day #12
Had a long talk with my parents last night, they called and were worried about me as I had commented in the family chat, they asked how I felt and if there were anything they could do for me to feel better. I explained my feelings and possible reasons, mostly it is work-dependent and work-situation related, as well as economical. In short, "the hamster wheel is turning to fast".
They said that I could rely on them if there were any issues.
As would any parent to their child. I'm grateful to have such parents and that they are still alive, many of my friends have lost one or both of their parents.
Talked about the fact that changing blood pressure medication had stopped my feet from swelling, my mom had same medication just another brand and had problems with her whole leg underneath her knee swelling, read off the particular brand I had, she'd try getting that next time she's at a pharmacy.
Yesterday I got a comment from a colleague that I had talked to earlier about their burn out and subsequent depression, they had started on medication as well, same kind as me. Wanted to trade experiences.
Got new appointments tomorrow with the doctor, get another few in the mail for appointments later this month. I believe I'll get my dosage adjusted tomorrow, and/or a new prescription as my current box ran empty while filling my pill caddie.
