The Appointment I've Been Praying For...

Whew! Thank God for today!

The appointment with my new psychiatrist was today. I've been waiting for this appointment for two months now. And in my case, two months is a very long time.

After seeing the same psychiatrist for over 10 years, due to issues such as depression, generalized anxiety and panic disorder - change was way overdue. Especially after being told that getting off of medication completely was "not an option." Nuh uh. You don't tell me that.

I WILL get off of this medication. I WILL be a better mama. I WILL be a better wife. I WILL be a more productive worker. AND I WILL advocate for those with anxiety, panic disorder and mental health issues.

So, the appointment. We developed a plan, to where I can completely rid my body of chemicals that have altered my emotions, my brain function and my body period. And I am so very excited.

God has once again shown me The Grace.

So, this transformation should take about 6 weeks. I will go through ups and downs. I will have windows of clarity, and there will be times when I feel just awful. If I become a hermit for a few weeks, then forgive me, please. I'm not trying to be anti-social or cancel plans on purpose. But, with the help of prayer, and God walking right by my side, I hope that my true PURPOSE will shine through.

I really want to help others who are going through the same thing I am/have. It is my calling, to be the feet of Jesus. So, if I can pray with you or just for you, I would love for you to reach out to me - either through a comment on my blog, or through Facebook. I love prayer partners.

And I hope to blog on how I'm feeling each day. We are planning on putting our house on the market, so that should also provide a little distraction for this journey.

Thank you all for walking with me. And praying with me.

And please continue to do so.

Humbly His,
L.
