Re: depressedFrom: AJ (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 22 Aug 2001 21:31:55 -0500 (CDT)
Lavender, I'm soo sorry to hear about your situation. I too have endo and know how much of a roller coaster life for us is just with the endo. I know that right now you feel like nothing will ever go right, but believe me hon, it will get better. It starts when you find out that there are others out there that have the same problems as you and can actually relate to what you are going through. Endo can cause depression. Some of the treatments they use for endo causes depression also. You need to get help with this. I was soo depressed for months on end cause of the endo and the treatment I was on. I finally told my dr about it and he prescribed some Effexor. It took about 2-3 weeks, but it really helped. I was able to get through the days without crying, and I found myself actually wanting to get out of bed. I couldn't believe how much the anti-depressant had helped. It was a miracle to me to actually be able to smile again. As far as the tests,try not to stress toomuch. You have to realize that if you fail the test it doesnt mean that your world has ended. You can always retake the class, sometimes if you have a good teacher and explain what has been going on in your life they will actually let you retake the test (I had a few of these in college and it actually suprised me). I wish that I could be there to give you a hug and tell you that everything is going to be better, but this is as close as I can get. You are not alone in this, and many people are more than happy to offer you support, especially the ones that know what you are going through. If you find that you want to talk about your endo, there is an endo forum on this site that the women there are truly angels. There are also other sites. Feel free to email me privately if you need anything or want some more sites that you can go to. I know what you are going through and you shouldnt have to face it alone. I'm here if you need me. :) Take Care and God Bless, AJ
