Hey all....I decided to get off my lazy butt and find ’Help’ - what a wonderful and ironic word; all the ’help’ I’ve been given has made my thinking worse...

Well I was looking and found this information about Addison’s Disease - which is extremely similar to CAH, except they don’t have to put up with the overproduction of androgens. They have none - lucky people I tell ya!

Well my point is....apparently "excessive glucocorticoids can produce depression...In addition, low corticosteroid levels may also produce depression..." I know all about the cortisol and inability to cope with stress - but to tell you the truth I really don’t think I am under that much stress. Everybody is expecting me to be ’stressed’ because it’s my last year of school and I have major exams - but I am weird; I thrive on school; of being put under that sort of pressure.

However, I am convinced I have depression. I could virtually tick every box on the syptoms list... but then again all of that stuff happened a couple of years ago, and I thought I dealt with it then (obviously not well enough). I’ve lost weight again and therefore am oversuppressed - it is the story of my life. I am (and always have been) on too many meds - the doctor says better safe than sorry. He has a valid point though.

But I was just wondering if anybody else is in the same boat; the one that feels like it will sink some time soon? Or if anybody has actually heard about the meds doing this.

Cheers big ears!
