Re: Felt better yesterday

Emily Firestone 12:04pm Jun 25 2012

Trista,
You just had surgery a week ago. You're going to be on painkillers for a while, and that's more than OK. It took me a good 4 weeks total to be completely off them. You will have ups and downs.

It's a horrible thing to need help constantly. It really is. But trust me when I say it's going to get better. I totally understand every frustrating moment. There were times I thought I was at my breaking point. I cried constantly. I thought there was no way I was going to be able to regain anything. A month later, I sipped morning coffee on a patio a couple of blocks from home. I made it there on my own with only one crutch! You can do it. I promise.

Antidepressants are very serious drugs with harsh side effects. I really implore you to discuss your situation with medical professionals before asking for a prescription. They are not meant for temporary situations and can compromise other parts of your health.
