I'm doing 10 things
I’ve been diagnosed with SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). Being in a family with a sister with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) life is really tough. I’m overweight because of my depression and I really want to lose weight. However because of my sister’s mental illness/bulimia, it makes it difficult. I need to figure a way to do this the healthy way and without her knowing because it’ll make her feel like she’s fat herself.
Anyway, I just went to see the doctor today. I’m going to be trying a few new things to beat my depression. I’m trying a new medication since the last one didn’t work. I am also going to try out light therapy. I was able to get a doctor’s note saying that he recommends it, so hopefully my insurance will help pay for the light box. If not, I’ll have to think up some alternatives.
I will be pondering on this some more. I’ll update in a few weeks once the new medication begins kicking in.
