5. I have to say I was spiraling hard.

Oct 2020

Depression, anxiety, inability to focus, bordering on agoraphobia, zero drive to do anything but binge watch tv, if I wasn’t sleeping. I was just ruined. Convinced my Dr to put me back on meds, gave me Cymbalta which is new for me, and I’m a new woman.

No amount of self-pep talk or sheer force of will was lifting me out of that black hole. I needed meds.

I am utterly grateful with all of my being that this med was invented. I feel more like myself than I have in yeeeaaaars.
