Wow, my new medicine is actually working. I have depression and take medicine everyday. Recently for awhile I have been not caring, being a hermit, not enjoying much. Then I went to the doctor and he prescribed some oxytocin. This is a drug that is supposed to reduce anxiety in many ways. I remember when he was describing the things that it helped with was that it made you want to connect with other people, decrease irritability, and mediate some of the anxiety. Well I have to say that in the last few days I have seen that I am wanting to connect more with people. I am not being my usual really anti social self, which is good because being anti social sometimes makes me sad which does not help depression. So I am noticing I want to be out of the house, which I am alone in most of the day. I want to connect with friends more, via facebook mostly. I am branching out and trying to get to know other people better. It was a revelation that occurred to me today as I was finding myself starting conversations with lots of people in facebook, and beginning to interact with people in the blogging world.
Its the small things that make the difference.
