Continuing Recovery

[OnlySunshine]

Please continue to say prayers for me as they are working.  Last week, I saw my doctor and she put me on a higher, more continuous dose of the medication I've been on for the past 7 years for my depression/anxiety.  I had been well up until before my tonsillectomy and then everything spiraled downhill when I got back to work.  The schedule was a mess and we had a LOT of turnover.  There were some nights where I had to come home and watch comedy or I was going to start crying - it was my coping mechanism.  Then, one night, I just couldn't control the tears anymore and I felt like quitting my job - I felt like I was pushed to the limit.  I immediately got in touch with my doctor because I didn't want anything to happen that I'd regret.  

The medication she prescribed me required a prior authorization form so I had to wait a day while it processed (the dose was higher than what was allowed by my HMO), but I've been on it for a few days and I can tell it's working.  I also talked to my boss and managers at work about the situation with trouble staffing and they are being very supportive - it happened while I was on FMLA so they know it wasn't my fault.  Since then, my mood has been improving and I feel confident at work again.  We still have a ways to go with hiring new people, but I believe things are going to get better.
