Ok, so I must give credit where credit is due. A few posts ago I wrote about my mood being far less than "normal." One of my doctors attempted to reassure me weeks ago that what I was feeling was "most likely" hormonal and around 24-26 weeks I should start to notice a change...for the better. Well, I do believe he is right.
I just hit the 24 week mark (holy cow only 16 weeks to go). And I do feel better. I feel motivated, have had several days of cleaning sprees, felt like cooking and all together feel more like myself. Thank Goodness!
As I mentioned in an earlier post, feeling depressed was a new one for me. Fortunately, depression is not something I have had to battle in my past. Now that I've experienced it for a couple of months during this pregnancy, I have an even greater level of empathy for my clients that suffer from chronic depression. It is my hope that this new experience follows suit with my perception that my own life experiences only add to my clinical abilities and serve to enhance my clinical practice. For this, I am grateful.
