Medication...

I've never been the type of person to go to the doctor unless it's really bad (like ER worthy.) Of course I did when I was pregnant and I go to my yearly check ups with my OB but other than that, I don't.
I've had depression on and off since I was a teen. It is hereditary in my family. I don't really feel like I am in a depression, but I do know I have anxiety and that it is getting worse. I just feel nervous all the time. I get real shaky and panic over dumb things.
The past few months my mom keeps telling me I need to just go have a check up done. I need to talk to the doctor about my anxiety. No! I hate going to the doctor. The only reason I go to my yearly OB visit is because ovarian cancer runs in my family and I also have issues with my ovaries. (Sorry if TMI, but I'm not even sure if anyone reads my blog lol)

Anyway. So I go today and tell her about my anxiety. She wants me on Zoloft. She says it will treat anxiety and depression both because they tend to go hand in hand. Tonight is my first dose. UGH. Rich is on so much medicine and I never have had to take medicine every day. It's going to be hard to get used to. I just hope it helps me like it is supposed to.
It will be nice to not be so nervous all the time. It is hard to really even explain how I feel. It's like my body starts shaking but if you look at my hands, they are still. She also did routine blood work for other things and I have to go back in a month.
Oh well. I know I need to stay healthy and take better care of myself. I just hate medicine. I'm glad I have such a good doctor though who I am comfortable with. There is no real point to this blog post I guess. Just wanted to get my thoughts out there.
