Feeling out of sorts

[Guest guest]

I am on 1.5 grains of Armour Thyroid daily. Had saliva testing done

and it didn't show my cortisol to be too high - at the upper end of

normal, but not overtly high and at noon my cortisol was 0 (lab

error?).

I used to be very organized and excited about life - I work at home

as a medical transcriptionist and cannot buckle down and work - if I

could, I could make a lot of money. When I used to work at home

(took a break from MT and worked outside the home) I loved it because

I could get my 8 hours of work done in 5 hours and have more time in

my day to do fun things.

I find myself sitting at this computer ALL day - doing E-mails,

reading on the internet - jumping up and down from my chair to do

other things around the house and watching some TV. I just cannot

focus at all! I have no drive.

Wondering about antidepressants. How many of you take antidepressants

and would they work for what I am dealing with? Is this a symptom of

hypothyroidism? I also am in perimenopause - age 48. There is also

some depression mixed in with this - just no real zest for life these

days. Fear of the future mixed in....lots of issues.

Thanks!
