lethargic update

I havent updated in a long time because Ive been doing really well. The last 2 weeks i had alot of headaches because of stress, but they are not debilitating which is key. Thats gone but now its replaced with mild/moderate fatigue in the afternoons. Now the last few days Ive been depressed too. Last night I got a migraine. so im hoping I'm pregnant. which is what I hoped before my surgery too because that means my body is normal and I only have to deal with this craziness for a little while. If Im not pregnant then I'm so frustrated because my antidepressants arent working and I have to find the source of my problems. Ugh!

Other than that Ive been doing pretty great. Again not 100% but there are so many instances where I remember the same situation being in agony like climbing stairs.
