Hey Guys!
Bet you guys have been wondering
where I’ve been. Truthfully, I’ve been busy doing other things (which may or
may not involve thinking about a possible future blog redesign). I’ve also been
busy playing around with Photoshop and learning new things to do with it.
This post however, is about my
Health.
Since around November, I haven’t
been feeling very well. I’ve been light-headed, dizzy, tired and all sorts of
bad unwell feelings. Well today I finally went to the Doctor and may have found
out what’s wrong with me.
I haven’t mentioned this in the blog
yet, but I take medication for Mental Health issues. So around November, I had
increased one of my medications which could possibly be why I’ve been feeling
sick.
You may not know this, but in the
brain there is a special chemical called Serotonin. Unofficially it’s “The
Happy Chemical” as it helps make you feel happy. That means if you have low
levels of Serotonin, it is quite possible you may have Depression or some
related illness. Well, If I do have Serotonin Syndrome, I have too much of it
and my brain can’t cope. That possibly could be what is making me feel sick. I
won’t go into too much detail but it isn’t a good thing to have and means I
need to get rid of one of my medication to fix it.
Good news, I should feel better
after getting rid of that tablet. However, the bad news is getting rid of this
tablet might affect my moods and make me not be so stable. Well I guess my
blood test tomorrow should be able to tell me what I need to know. Then I should
be able to get better.
Sorry about the seriousness of the
blog but I wanted to write a blog and this was the only thing I could think of.
I Pinky Promise I’ll write a happier blog next time.
Thanks for reading

Hi Ashleigh (love your signature!)
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Kind Over Matter...and I'm so glad I did.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression in 1995. So, I've been on an antidepressant since then. A few years ago I wanted to see if I could go off that pill, with monitoring by my doctor. Unfortunately, all of my symptoms came back. I'm now on a low dose and feeling very good! I know that sometimes it can take a while to find the right balance of meds. I hope you feeling good very, very soon! You're in my thoughts!
