I think eating unhealthy is temporarily comforting for those who feel sick or depressed. When I am sick I tend to eat worse myself. I tell myself I feel bad physically so I deserve to treat myself with something tasty. That's just the wrong mindset, and I have gotten a lot better about that.
So what's the plan going to be going forward? Back on the old drugs? Different thyroid drugs? |
I didnt switch immedietely but weened myself of the old drugs as the doctor prescribed. It was not the thyroid medication that was giving me those problems, but the anti-anxiety medication. I am back on 2 of my old drugs, have quit one and I feel very good. The thing is that it isnt even sure that I need to be on anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs anymore, because my mental health has gotten so much better. I just have to see what happens. I would rather be a little anxious with a clear mind, then depressed and groggy on medication...
