what's my problem?

[Evie]

Ever since April of this year,(hubby and I seperated) I have had the worst time with depression. I am now constantly hearing myself sighing all the time. Well,what's my problem? I went to the lab twice for bloodwork but not for this. It was determine whether I was going through menapause or not.They were looking for cancer,anything. They told me I as not going through my change.They saw a swollen thyroid on my neck and thought maybe that had something to do with it. I am constanly grumpy,moody and just plain can not sit still. I have to keep moving and busy every minute. Dang! I was going through the sweats for awhile but now I just kinda sweat hardly ever. I am not a depressed person usually and don't like this. I know it has a lot to do with my seperation but I don't like this either. Any ideas would be great and how do you determine what's the matter,I will not be heading back to the Dr's either.

Hyperthyroidism is an excess of thyroid hormone resulting from an overactive thyroid gland. Symptoms can include increased heart rate, weight loss, depression, and cognitive slowing. Treatment is by medication, the use of radioactive iodine, thyroid surgery, or reducing the dose of thyroid hormone.

Or maybe you have hypothyroidism.. but I dont think so since you say "They saw a swollen thyroid on my neck"

maybe read up more on it?

Evie,

It sounds to me that you are experienceing both anxiety and depression. When you and your husband seperated, you experienced loss, and we when lose something the means something to us, something that we have invested a lot of emotional energy into, then that loss often has negative effects on us.

The needing to keep busy all the time, can't sit still, is a sign of anxiety, and the sighing is depression.

My advice is (if you have not already done so) is get close to God, pray, read. Also find a close friend or two that you can talk with openly about what all is bothering you. Also, journal, sit down and write all your feelings out.

This is hard to explain, but there may be some specific issue with the relationship with your husband that is causing you to have this anxiety and depression. It may be something that you do not even conciously realize, and until you sit down and talk and work your feelings out you may not realize it. When you determine specifically what is bothering you, then and only then can you address that specifc issue, and your healing begin.

I hope this helps, I have batteled anxiety and depression for a long time. Sometimes I think it just something that you have to work through on your own.
