Well, it's been a long while since I have been on here, and I certainly have had an interesting almost 9 months. I have missed many of you on here, Lindalou, Mandy, Stace, Granny, and more of you too. I apologize for my absence, but I have needed to do this by myself.
As some of you know my husband is in the military and deployed for a year...leaving me w/3 kids, and a dog....and hopefully at the end of this my sanity still.
My anxiety reached an all time high in November..I ended up seeking help, and it really was the best decision I could've made. I feel so much better, but at the same time I refuse to give the medication all of the credit...because I have done it as well. I have managed to not totally screw up my children, and keeping the house in tact, and trying to be the best Mommy that I know how. I have learned so much being by myself for this long, and let me tell you while it's been soooooo hard I wouldn't trade the lessons learned for anything. BECAUSE I have learned how capable I really am, how strong even when I am crying, what a multi-tasker I am even when I can barely keep my eyes open.
So, the moral of my story is that yes, the meds have helped, but I look at them as more of a tool and not a cure-all. I have done it!!
I don't know if this is truly a success story, but I feel good...the best I have felt in a really long time, other than missing the hell outta my husband and changing diapers, wiping noses all day I am okay!!!!
Thanks for reading my story.
