Since I was a kid, I've had issues feeling down. I get mad at little stuff and have a hard time controlling my emotions. My mom told me this was normal and I'd even out eventually.
Well, I'm 28 and I've never evened out. Since starting working nights, I've been too tired to tired to keep myself in check and it's been rough on everyone involved. A friend pointed out that until I got it looked into, I wasn't being the best Mommy I could be for Luke. That hit home.
I saw our family doctor today and talked about it. She told me I have a pretty classic case of clinical depression. I thought she'd refer me to someone, but she handled it right there. I now have a script for generic Prozac and plan on getting it filled tonight at work.
I really hope this balances everything out and that I stop feeling this way.
