I am now working 46 hours this week and experienced a down turn yesterday. It has been 9 days since the increase on the implant. I now am 9 days on the decrease in the medications as well. I felt the tinge of anxiety, the anger and loss of patience that usually happens when I begin to have a down turn. This morning I am groggy and sleepy, even after having 8 hours of sleep. But the depression did not come,, not yet at least. Must get more caffine. I am drinking more than 144 oz of caffine. each day, and some days can't stay awake. I am taking to caffine. again, fresh brewed.
I am living with depression. I was implanted with VNS therapy on March 11,2008 and am blogging what experiences I have, not only with the device but with depression itself, and just what depression is. This is to let people know depression is not just the "blues". True depression is a disease, not a mood problem. One can manage the depression with various treatments and I invite you to learn with me as I go through it.
