This has been a week of dr.’s visits for me. CT scan, allergy shots and review of CT scan, chiropractor, and yesterday a follow up at my general practioner, today bloodwork. Every six months I have to follow up with my doctor about the status of my antidepressents. This time I’ve been on them since Ian was born and they are working really well. Many people think that if they are feeling good then they can stop their meds. The doctor and I think that if I stop my medication I’ll have a relapse and given my history and family history, I’m stickin with it. Don’t mess with something that ain’t broke as they say. Depression is a dark and lonely place and one I don’t care to visit anytime soon. I’m very grateful to God for bringing me to where I am and pray that I don’t go back to where I was. So if taking reuptake inhibitors for my Dopamine levels is going to help, so be it. I don’t think that medication is sufficient on it’s own which is why it’s important for me that I remain active in prayer and in the word and connected to others.

i think it is brave to reevaluate and and awesomely humble step to stay with them… i think it's awesome to know what you need to do to be where you need to be! i love how you don't rely on just meds, but recognize our awesome God put such things in our world to be a piece of the puzzle to allow us to live as joyful of a life we can live w/o being in his presence
