I’ve been putting off blogging for the last few days. I was in a hole. I’ve got to admit, my depression had gotten the best of me. I ended up isolated for about a week and it wreaked havoc on my mental state. I often forget how important it is to get out of the house. It’s like I get stuck inside for a few days and the longer I stay in, the harder it is for me to get out.
During this “down” week, I’ve had lots of crazy dreams. I notice that they get weirder when I’m depressed. I was able to feel better over the weekend though. It helps that I can confide in my husband how I am feeling. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words, but he’s learned me over the last 6 years. I so appreciate his support.
I think part of the depression was due to stress. I had been overthinking my dentist appointment and just praying that we would be able to move onto the next step. I’m so thankful that the appointment was a success and my next one will be to check out my wax try ins! I’m almost at the end of this dental implant journey and it’s been a long time coming.
I think the implants and a few other things were just all wearing on me. The load got a little heavy. One day at a time.
I’m so sorry you went through that! I hope things are, at least, a bit better for you now.
Things are much better! Thank you. I’m out with Hubby today celebrating his birthday!
Sometimes we have down days and that’s okay. As long as we keep fighting. I’m so glad you’re getting closer to the end of your dental journey. And I really hope you feel better.
You’re so right. It’s worth the fight. 🙏
Feeling depressed is drowning in exhaustion and sad feelings. I love to sleep through it, but getting in the sun and forcing a friend to take a walk with me to talk helps a bit. Thank you for sharing your struggle.
You’re right. It’s the little things that make a difference.
