What medication should I have prescribed?

I am going to the doctor on Monday and about to join the world of pill-poppers. I’ve just recently decided that I do not have to live the life I have been used to. Here are my symptoms:

If you’ve already decided that meds will be best for you, than by all means take whatever the doctor prescribes. But don’t be shocked if he tells you they’re unnecessary at present. The truth is a lot of these symptoms just go with the territory, meaning that on top of all normal thoughts and worries, we have to carry around the burdens of nowadays somewhat mad society, in which 99% percent of all news tend to be more strange and bizarre than the previous.

The best way not to over-worry is to be as positive about everything as possible, letting yourself know you’ll deal with everything as need be, in its precise moment. Be confident this is the case with you, and indeed you’ll take care of things when need approaches. And specially try this at night before falling asleep, since after all a good night’s sleep will restore you completely.

Regarding the night sweats, and the blushing, unless you are in your pre-menopause or are menopausal already_and yes it can happen at a much earlier age than for most women_then all this is also due to your stress, which in turn is brought on by your desire to exceed yourself more as a mother, wife, etc.

Tell yourself what great job your doing. Compliment yourself on how you go through the day doing much more than someone else would probably do in a case such as yours. Being as tired, irritable, worried, and even having apathy for certain things_which may be the case for not wanting to visit a new store, etc._Do this without feeling sorry for yourself or trying to “rub it in other people’s face”. Since you do know that your opinion counts and you are doing a great job!!!

Then finally_and definetely_set aside a bit of each day for yourself. Use this time for reading, crochetting, knitting, sewing something for you only!!! Or simply watch any movie you like. Go for a stroll. Go to that precise store or place you are evading, and don’t even think why you didn’t want to go there in the first place! And as for house guests, unless you are “required by a close family member to have them often and for lengths of time”, then try to keep these visits as far apart as possible.

If these visits are “necessary”, than ask your husband, or the guest itself to help you out with the setting of table, fetching of drinks, grocery shopping, etc. You’ll do wonders for yourself once you rely on others to do some of the things you think are expected of you alone.
