Depression, anxiety and mood swings can sometimes be associated with insulin resistance too. I had felt bad for close to a decade but I knew things were out of control for me when I started snapping at people at work and at my friends and family. I wish I had gotten help before I lost my job.
I've been on prozac for a week now and I finally feel better. I didn't think I could ever get help to feel better. I have no medical insurance or job so had accepted I would feel ill and tired forever. But I called a crisis hotline and got free initial treatment and a depression diagnosis. A surprising low cost appointment to my own doctor yesterday not only got my prozac prescription extended but metformin for pcos and ir.
Generics of anti depressants are very low cost and I wish I had known that years ago. After a week on prozac I've stopped having panic attacks and I can feel my depression lessening. I no longer feel irritated with my parents or my boyfriend or friends. I used to get upset when friends called because it was too much to deal with and now having friends makes sense.
You can get help and you can feel better. A month ago I did not believe that but today I have hope.
