Did you now know about this before you started your new job?
Strangely I didn't have a clue about this but now after a few days of reading up on it the symptoms and conditions that relate to it they describe with almost frightening accuracy what I always considered and assumed was the normal feeling of life. Or at least what has been a normal feeling for me even from my days of being a kid. I am starting to think a large part of this problem might be from a life long chronic problem that never was properly diagnosed earlier in life. When I was 19 I was treated for depression for what was assumed to have been a stress induced break down.
Now I am wondering if what happened many years ago is perhaps what happened to me last Thursday night only back then it never got properly diagnosed and treated.
It just always seemed strange to me to be told I had depression even though I generally didn't feel bad about myself or my life to any great degree. Sometimes I get frustrated and disappointed with life at times but I get over it fairly quickly.
When I had the depression issues many years ago what I felt was that I just didn't care about anything and had no motivation or concerns about doing anything only just more so than normal. I could have cared less about life and what happened which is one of the more common symptoms related to pituitary gland problems.
I grew up in a family with very limited health insurance and parents who believed that if it never happened to them then its not real and thus no doctor visit is needed which is likely how most of this stuff was never got picked up on and treated properly years ago.
After reading up on this and the related effects and symptoms it sort of worries me that if they fix it I might turn into one of those overly motivated overly driven morning person A$$h*les that runs non stop for 18 hours a day.
I have always hated being around because they cant sit still so if I become one it could create a whole new set of personal issues for me to deal with!
My first follow up appointment is tomorrow and I would almost bet they start me off with antidepressants first.
That seems to be the common solution to any mental or general health related issue around here. Dont fix the problem but instead just make you feel really happy about having it and then let it degrade until it is a seriously expensive problem to treat.
