For years I've maintained a perfect facade. I was an actress skilled enough that I should have won a few academy awards. This past winter I was deeply inspired by "Shadows in the Sun" a memoir on depression. The author's truth made me realize I needed to start by being honest, with myself and with others. This is the first step and I am blogging it along the way in hopes to help anyone who may be struggling with something similar, or at least give hope that you're not alone.

Wanting off the rollercoaster
Again it's been a while since I checked in here. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster lately. Last month I switched from Cymbalta to Zoloft since I had heard from several different sources that Zoloft is safe with pregnancy and I have strong aspirations to be a Mother. The past month has been really rough transition as I am experiencing many physical symptoms (back pain, tension, nausea) and my mindset has been a rollercoaster, constantly dipping up and down. Driving me crazy (and Im sure everyone around me crazy too). At this point, I am not looking forward to anything. I feel like physical crap- and I feel lost for an answer. Should I remain on Zoloft? Should I not be on anything? I really don't know. I am continuing to go to Therapy once a week and that is helping my mood improve but only on a short term basis. I know I can fight this but I am so tired. I will continue praying as I do believe God has me on earth for a reason and will help me get through this. It's such a hard fight and I want to get better so I can help others in the future.
