It is official. I have become a member of the Prozac nation. My PCP prescribed me prozac today for depression and as an appetite suppressant. I am seriously apprehensive about this. I have never really thought about taking anti-depressants as I think they are seriously over prescribed. I am somewhat worried about becoming dependent on them. Hopefully, it will help with the depression. I never really thought of myself as depressed. I know I was not really happy, just kind of existing, that has been my normal. But with my living situation the last few years I am using food as a comfort source and isolating myself. I spend a lot of time on the computer. i also am not getting any physical exercise as most days I am so mentally drained I don't want to do anything, not even walk the Shih Tzu.
I hope this will be the push I need to motivate me to change my life. I am tired of the rut my life has become and do want to change it. I really I have been allowing the problems of others and my own lack of confidence in myself to box myself in. We shall see.
