...and in addition to chronic depression, I have also been diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, high cholesterol, and hypothyroidism.
Oddly enough, the hypothyroidism is what exacerbated the depression enough that I couldn't hide it anymore. And the metabolic syndrome, which basically means that I'm one short step from diabetic, is the primary cause of the wacky cholesterol numbers I'm getting.
So now I'm on three different medications with three different sets of directions that need to be taken at four different times during the day. Which means I have to start coordinating my eating and sleeping schedules according to my medications. Which means I actually have to ESTABLISH eating and sleeping schedules.
*sigh*
But, with any luck, I'll start feeling better soon.
