So the last month has been rather interesting. I actually got very frustrated with the fact that my weight was just sitting at 223lbs. It really made no sense. Then I started to get other physical issues. I started needing lots of naps and my joints and muscles ached all the time. Then my mood started going down. I also stopped getting my period so I immediately thought pre-menopause which I am rather young for. Anyway I looked it up and all the symptoms were there, and then I scrolled to the bottom of the page and it said, "If you have hypothyroidism have this checked first the symptoms are nearly the same." So I did and turns out my thyroid was low. They upped my medication and all is well again, and in the first week since the medication change I have dropped 3 lbs.
So hopefully now that my mood has begun to elevate back to normal I will be able to write in this journal again.
Thank you caro and Rosey, the grocery issue has also resolved itself. I found a bus that gives me half an hour of shopping time, more than needed. No more long waits or walks. YAY! My friend takes me to the store for the heavy stuff (ie kitty litter).
Djuna- Yes, parents can be very damaging even when they don't intend to be. It is good to hear that at least your mother is changing.
I try to be completely honest when I talk about my experiences. Some of my friends would say too honest. LOL I have a tendency to say how I see things, doesn't always go over well with everyone.
Thank you for your wishes.
