- I read the newspaper
- I read magazines
- I read e-books on my tablet
- I read blogs
The list goes on & on...but my neighborhood growing up got to the point where my overprotective parents didn't want me outside, and TV bored me, so I would read...
Anyway, their argument is that you start to believe everything that you read...I don't believe EVERYTHING, but I do take it into consideration; and if I DIDN'T READ...
- I probably wouldn't have done as well in school,
- So, I wouldn't have gotten scholarships for college,
- And I certainly wouldn't have gotten into AND finished graduate school...I mean, you kinda have to read a little bit to get through graduate school *don't believe anyone that tells you otherwise*
Recently, I've been reading baby books, specifically "What to Expect When You're Expecting", and "Your Pregnancy, Week by Week". And I have to admit, most of it scared the crap out of me...but there was something that really stuck out, regarding anti-depressants.
From what I read, and from what my doctor has said, the decision to stay on my "happy pills" is up to me; I just need to acknowledge that the baby could be a little jittery/cranky coming out of the womb...
Obviously this is NOT what I want for my kid...so after a lot of thinking, and a lot of bugging my ob-gyn, he suggested that I try to wean myself off of the meds.
About two weeks ago, I started taking my meds every other day, which puts me at about half the daily dosage that I was taking before...surprisingly, I haven't noticed a difference; possibly because most of the time my personality/mood varies between
