Feeling depressed
When I got diagnosed back in December I read all about Graves’ disease. Found out about thyroid eye disease but saw that it was rare so I didn’t worry too much about it but it was always at the back of my mind. Treatment has been a world wind of feeling no energy to feeling normal to suffering terrible headaches not being able to sleep to sleeping way too much. I can’t concentrate and my balance has been off lately.
A month ago I started feeling weird in my right eye. I held back from telling anyone because I feel like it’s just been me giving complaint after complaint after complaint. Especially to my husband. I finally decided to tell him when I really noticed the double vision and I told my doctor who told me go to an emergency room which I didn’t do. Instead I found an ophthalmologist who sent me to do a CT. Got my results back today and sure enough I’m apart of that rare group with Graves’ disease and TED.
I found out at work so I had that to distract me. But now it’s almost 2am and I’ve been tossing and turning crying and pitying myself all night. I feel like I’ve burdened my husband with this. We barely have a life together. No kids, just working to build a life and now out of the blue I could end up losing my sight. I don’t even understanding what is happening. I’ve been so independent all my life and I’m scared of the thought of being disabled. Well, at least the tears sooth the dry eyes huh.
Once again, I just needed to vent. Feel free to share your story please.
