First day of meds

I made an appointment yesterday, in desperation to find some relief from my depression and anxiety. This morning I met with the nurse at Student Health Services and "renewed" my prescription for Wellbutrin. The first dose has left me feeling a little spacey and dizzy but I think it will be a short term side effect. Long term, I hope it will help me continue trying to achieve a healthier lifestyle and continued weight loss. I've got about 50 pounds to go. Fifty pounds to be back at my pre-failed-live-in-boyfriend experience.

As early as age 18 I knew I have had depression. At that time I lived in an apartment with my best friend/roommate. My boyfriend still lived at home though and wasn't allowed to stay with me. When he left at night I'd watch his truck drive away until I couldn't see it anymore... and cry, alone, in front of the window.

Number 1

In an attempt to combat my depression I've begun keeping a paper journal. Writing helps relieve some anxiety and brings sleep on occasion. Through the wonders of Google, I found a blog on this site that I could really relate to and decided to start my own.
Though I wish to remain anonymous- the need to voice my troubles and daily tribulations (as dull as they often are) in some form feels important. Especially since I do not wish to discuss these things with a counselor.
So, here it is- for what it's worth.
