I am struggling with hormones and depression. I mentioned in the last post about having to get it all straightened out with the gynecologist and the "psycho" doctor AND the counselor. My "holy trinity" so to speak.
I do not like living like this. It is very, very, very difficult to figure out "what" is talking. Is it the depression causing the negative feelings or is it the hormones? Is it both combined?
Something else I wonder about is the amount of instances or behavior I blame on depression. How much do I blame on hormones. How much do I take spiritual ownership of?
I can give what I feel is the right answer. Pray and ask God. Some days, however, I feel as if I'm caught in a swirling vortex of emotions and distractions. It doesn't always occur to me to talk to God.
I feel like I'm losing my mind. What there is left of it that is....
About Me
- 70's CHICK
- I am a 41 year-old pastor's wife and reluctant mother of three. I struggle with clinical depression which, when translated, means that I struggle with life. If it were not for my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, I would be dead; physically and spiritually.
Yeah, sometimes it's just Kelli with a case of the Mondays, talking... even if it's Thursday. :P

ReplyDeleteHormones are a pain in the butt. I mean it. Yeah, I know we can't live or function without them, however....major pain, and always something outta balance.
ReplyDeleteHow much to blame on spiritual? Not much, imho.
You love God. You want to love God even better. I know you pretty well, have for almost decades now. I've always seen you striving and trying to please Him. That alone tells me that it is most likely a medical issue.
So...have you ever seen an endocrinologist? I think they might test more extensively and use a finer scale than regular docs. They are hard to get into, however, but there are a few where you live.
I shall check it out...much thanks to you!!
