Hi all,
I don't feel right, i feel like Im in a slump. My hubby just had a hip replacement and was in the hospital for 4 days. I had so much anxiety about this because I have never been away from hinm for 20 years. Anyway I was amazed to find myself very functionable without him. I went food shopping with a friend, went to work. I don not leave the house with anyone but hubby. I was so proud of myself, I thought I beat it. He came home 13 days ago and since then I caught a cold and feel very off balance with sudden moves. I know its probably my sinusis. I feel very disappointed in myself because I was doing so well. I thought honestly that I wouldn't have to rely on anyone anymore after the 4 day victory. I slipped into this depression state I guess. I don't want to do anything. And when I do have to leave the house I get anxiety. I am hoping that its just this headcold thats dragging me down. I am so blue/sad for no reason. I am going through something I never experienced before and I am afraid its some sort of depression. Anyone else feel this way when they feel sick?

Yes...I went through a really tough bout of depression...it lasted for a couple weeks...Seems like I cried over everything...I wasn't feeling up to par, either...Had a bout with my sinuses and ears...I am feeling much better now, and am actually happy...Give it some time, you will be back to yourself in no time flat...We all have our ups and downs...I prayed and I finally overcame mine after a couple weeks or so...I am sure you will be fine...Whenever, I am sick, my depression and anxiety level always go up...I get so moody and irritable...but, I always bounce back, as I am sure you will..God Bless

Remember there will be times when you will feel of balance or down....sickness does that to a body. A so called "normal" person would feel that way.

This to will pass...you had a great victory don't forget that feeling. You have started on your way keep going...you can do it. Good Luck.

Ms. T Bones and r.michelle,
