Feeling Nuts

Ok, so shortly before my birthday I was feeling very anxious, agitated and depressed. I don't really think it was the fact that I was about to turn the "BIG 30". I was basically just feeling nuts, honestly. So I decided to do the smart thing and check my self into Billings Clinic Psych Center. Initially I was in the ER for the night, because of no beds in the psych center, and that morning I was really adament about returning home. The doctor(s) were not buying it. They didn't feel like I would be safe if I returned home. In hindsight they were probably right. I ended up going over to the psych center and ended up there for 9 days. I spent my birthday there and Thanksgiving as well. I got my depression med upped and also something to help my anxiety and to help me sleep. Today, I can honestly say I am still a bit depressed and anxious, however I met with my counselor today and I feel that it was a very good session. She basically said that she was glad I went to the psych center, even if I didn't want to be there after I was there. I think my depression, anxiety, etc. is something that I am going to have for the bulk of the rest of my life, but I also think that I can manage it as long as I take meds, seek counseling as needed, take breaks from school/life as needed ( take a mini vacation somewhere), workout, pray whatever.
