Have I hit bottom? This is a question that I have been asking myself a lot lately. I am struggling in many areas of my life and I no longer feel like I am really living. I have been suffering through each day unable to stick to any course of action that I know would offer me some relief, yeast free diet included. I am caught up in a fast food rut because I refuse to focus on the weekends and plan my weekly candida diet menu. I was feeling so depressed last week that I decided to see my psychiatrist and go back on Wellbutrin hoping for the quick relief that this medication has provided me with in the past. I just need to get a handle on my current situation.
The last several months have been extremely stressful. I took a big hit to my income back in January when I lost my child support benefits due to my ex’s inability to find work after his unemployment benefits expired. Thankfully, I have had some income coming in from a temporary assignment but it is still difficult to cover our living expenses. I know that exhaustion is also playing a significant role in how I feel. I support about 5 different managers at work and the job can get very demanding. I know that I am in desperate need of some time off from work but have been reluctant to take time because of the financial implications. I have also been trying to find a permanent job or at least an opportunity with the potential to become permanent unlike the assignment I am working now but juggling interviews and my current job has proved to be very difficult.
I am dealing with a lot but I do realize that there are people that are much worse off. I just have to keep doing the best I can and I am sure things will be okay. So I have been on the medication for almost 1 week now and I am beginning to feel better. It takes a few weeks to feel the full effect but I am just happy to get some relief from my depression.
So here I am finally focused enough to create a candida diet menu for the week ahead. I am sure that eating yeast free again will also help with my depression. So, maybe I have hit a personal bottom but I know the way up is by making positive lifestyle changes such as resuming living yeast free.
