Hello Mandy !
http://dl.glitter-graphics.net/pub/4...q6hd9jrorv.gif
I saw your post and wanted to stop by with a bunch of puppies ! :) I too have battled depression. It is such a confusing issue to deal with..... Although I don't know much about hydropcephalus, I do know that depression can go hand in hand with about ANY type of health issue..... It always raises the question.....which came first...the chicken?...or the egg? You've come to a wonderful place and there are many caring folks here..... Being a part of this forum has actually become the best 'medicine' I've ever been on! Glad to be your friend, even if you just want to 'talk'.... Caring Rae :hug: |

thanks id like that

Hey there Mandy!
I noticed you mentioned your bouts of depression seem to come in 'cycles'..... My daughter actually is the one who brought to my attention that she noticed my pain flares and depressed state of mind seemed to come in regular cycles....so I started keeping a 'mini-journal' of my moods and meds and what type of activities I've done, etc and sure enuf, there was a connection. Part of it, (I'm sure you've been told this) is hormonal......yes? I've also seen/heard from others that the weather has a part in it. Example: when we have several days in a row of overcast sky, depression seems to flare. Lack of vitamin D from the sun i guesss. :) .......Sooooo ? What's YOUR 'theory' ..... the chicken :o or.....the egg :p ? Rae :grouphug: |
it could be anything i really want to get it sorted but i dont think my dr would take any notice

That, to me, is pretty much the MOST frustrating thing about it! Getting the Dr to L I S T E N. I especially dislike the ones who flip thru our charts the whole time we are 'talking'......all that matters is what our written 'file' shows!
.........:mad: Why can't they ever just LOOK in our EYES once in awhile..... I really think they would 'hear' aLOT just by doing that! ..... :girl(sad): well........ in my case, maybe that would just simply freak the doctor out. ha :p |
Hang in there..
Hi Mandy, Read my recent post. This is hard. I will not sugar quoted it for you but this is journey and you are not alone, we are all together and we help each other day after day. Keep writing here and create a journal, it helps a lot!!!! :grouphug:
