    glad to see you posting again

    was worried about you, given your last Sharepost

    and yeah.. some meds actually do cause depression or cause depression to worsen

    so, given what you typed here - I take it you got a med change

     

    you've started with a new psychologist

    you've started a new structured routine

    you've started a new med change

    and now you are contemplating starting college this coming semester

    and yet you are concerned your, perhaps chilly feet, is just procrastination

     

    let's see

    you said yourself that waiting till next semester would give you time to see if the meds are working

    and that if you were to start now, at college, you feel like you'd not keep it up

     

    so

    maybe you already answered your dilema? Undecided

     

    either way you decide, wishing you luck and sending support

    Cool

    Thank you for the support and reinforcing what I was feeling. I usually push myself to hard, and I'm trying really hard not to do that now. But it also makes me feel like I'm not doing my best sometimes. I know in my head that I shouldn't overdo it and should not feel bad about it, but I feel like I'm not doing my best. I just have to realize that overloading my plate is not my best, it is bad for me!!

    DH was somewhat supportive, somewhat not. I'm trying to get him to see that to much at once might not work out, as it hasn't in the past.
