depression, big time

All of the sudden i feel so down and depressed. just have little energy to do anything. i have fought depression all my life and have come up with a myriad of habits to fight it, in addition to being on medication. i forced myself to go on a walk and that helped, then i read for a while, tried to enjoy eating one of my first pureed meals, and i did. i wasnt all that upset about how little there was either. i slept well but now i just feel like laying down and waiting for time to go to work. I cannot even focus on the plans for my vacation. they seem pointless. Nothing seems interesting.

it doesnt help that my legs ache. i may have to resort to taking celebrex again. I feel like I need a jumpstart.

I felt it begin last night but mildly, now it is of moderate strength and i need to deal with it before it builds like it did the last two winters.

Maybe it was in the air :) I was more depressed yesterday than I have been in awhile.. I am 7 months post op and experiencing my 1st true stall.. Plus I have lost about 95lbs and I am 56 so my skin is just doing much for me right now.. Dont get wrong, I am HAPPY that I have lost weight and I plan on losing another 30 at least but the skin thing is weighing heavy on my mind.. I cant decide if I will just stay covered for the rest of my life or invest in surgery.. Not sure surgery would be worth it at my age.. Anyways, sorry I went down my own rat hole.. You hang in there..

It is so very common to have depression after surgery. I have also struggle a lot in the last few years and have also taken medication. Good for you to recognize it and never, ever feel like you have failed because you have to use your medication again. Take care of yourself!
