taking my meds

I completely forgot to go get my prescription refilled so I went a few days without taking my "happy pills" (as we call them). I was not very pleasant to be around, to say the least! I started taking them about 3 1/2 to 4 years ago and they totally help me with my crazy moods and anxiety. They make me feel normal. Before I started taking them, I was hateful to everyone! I was bitter for no reason, I yelled at the kids all the time, I would break down and cry for no reason, I felt like I was always in a rush or I'd get that feeling like when your little and you KNOW you are in trouble. I was mean to people for no reason, I said mean things to and about people and had very little respect for anyone including myself. Life was a major inconvenience!! I didn`t realize what I was experiencing was depression and anxiety and just giving birth to my 4th baby made it much worse with the postpartum kicking in. Looking back now, I can see where things went wrong and know what I was feeling was not normal. I don`t know what I`d do today without the meds. I`m sometimes afraid I am addicted to them but I`m okay with that, If I have to take them for the rest of my life so I never have to feel that way again, I`ll do it!
