Hi, I'm just checking back in...sorry to see so many on the board seem to be struggling. All I've been doing for a while is working and sleeping, pretty much...I just got done with a rotation with very long hours.

I know I posted a while back that I was having trouble again with my mood and thoughts...but lately, for maybe the first time in years, I can say I'm actually happy. Who would have expected that?! :) I was working on Labor and Delivery, and helping to deliver babies was such a rush, even at 4:00 in the morning...and I managed to make it through the sad times all right too.

And the medication I've been on has helped my anxiety so much that I can actually talk to people and feel mostly comfortable a lot of the time (which I think was a big part of my depression, and my therapist agrees)...and my physical problems, from lupus or whatever it may be, have calmed way down too.

So I can't say I've had a very normal or well-rounded life lately since it's all been either in the hospital or in bed sleeping...but it's been interesting and at times amazing, to see new life come into the world...gives me a little more appreciation for my own.

Sorry if this post is out of place here...I just have been a regular for so long here that I thought it would never be possible to feel anything other than sadness again.
