Anxiety, Depression, and Hypothyroidism - Great combination--NOT!!!!!!!

Anxiety, Depression and Hypothyroidism - Great Combination

  With someone that is dealing with all 3 of these health issues.  It's not fun at all.  People may look at me and think that everything is going Peachy keen.  But I promise you up and down, it's not.  I know that when people look at me.  Why is she always so happy.  Well, I want to come clean.  IT IS A FRONT.

   Well, I can tell you that I have been dealing with Anxiety and Depression for a very long time now.  It started in Middle School when I started to get picked on & it continued until High School.  And I would try my best to be invisible, which it never happened.   I would try my best to avoid people, so it wouldn't happen.  Well, it did not matter what.  

     Then a couple of years ago, I went to the eye doctor for an examine.  The doctor came in a explained to me that I had extra fluid on my spine.  It I didn't get it corrected, that I could end up going blind.  I am still trying to process this and a work in progress.  This also scares me, because I see what my Grandmother Jojo when she was alive being 85% blind.  Also with my Mother, she goes every 3 to 6 months to a needle shot in her eye to help her.

     Then after that, I went to the another doctor had a some lab work done.  The reason I had lab work done was I was constantly falling asleep when I would calm down after a very stressful day.  That test came back positive for low levels in my thyroid.  Which is called, Hypothyroidism.  I was also concerned, I had lost at least 20 to 25 lbs with out even trying. A person with Hypothyroidism has symptoms of being irritable, cranky, sleepy, always tired, weight gain, forgetful and depressed. 

       A couple of years pasted, I was having trouble with my stomach.  Went to the doctor, he ran some test and ended up doing an DNC.  Well, the doctor informed me that when the test results would come back.  He would call me.  I will never forget, where I was or what was doing, when I got the call.  I was on lunch, when the doctor called me and informed me that the test results.  The cells that they tested came back pre-cancerous. A couple of weeks after the initial call, I was setup to have one of 2 choices done (IUD or an Hysterectomy - which meant I couldn't have anymore kids.) That was the scarcest day of my life and my whole world slowed down to a crawl.  

     Then a couple of years pasted, I drove myself down to UNC Hillsbrough Hospital and come to find out that I needed my gallbladder removed.  So, I ended up going under the needle again.  However, after this I have felt much better.

     I guess what I am trying to say is that.  With on top of this and everything else that I have been through in the past. I guess God is shown me that I can handle whatever is thrown at me.
