Depo appointment tomorrow

[Starflowerpower87]

So tomorrow when I get my depo injection I'll see my psychiatrist. I'm going to be very honest with them because I'm at the end of my rope. That I haven't been eating healthy, haven't been showering, just pace back and forth to my music all day. Winter is coming so it will be harder for me to go out to eat. Which is the only way I've been surviving. One of my workers suggested putting me in a facility an hour from where I live. It has no internet and I'm not sure about phone. I think you get an allowance though. Doesn't sound like a good place to go but she said there were no group homes available. Just the facility. Whatever that is.

I hope they can help me tomorrow because I need change. I hope they don't just brush it off and give me a med increase. That would be lame.

I suppose over the winter I could find easy things to eat inside. But Gosh I hate cooking. It makes me depressed with all the mess it makes. I need easy ideas. I just need to vent here. If anyone can give feedback or support of any kind it would be much appreciated. I know I've been moaning a lot. Winter just isn't my season.

I strongly suggest not getting the Depo Shot. I have known so many women over the decades that have suffered with heavy cramping, heavy bleeding, fatigue, wild mood swings, and chronic pain. Not to mention the ovarian cysts, endometriosis, hitruism, and fertility issues.

Once its in, it can't be removed.

Please, please, please I'm begging you, do not get the Depo Shot. Do your research. Depo Provera really should be banned.

My depo shot is antipsychotic medication. Please don't tell me the side effects of that. I already know what they are.

I am not holding her down and ordering her to do something or not to do it. I am just stating facts. Educating.
