Hi Everyone,
I just took my last 5mg dose of Pred yesterday morning and my UC symptoms are totally gone at this point. I'm happy to be off the stuff, but noticed yesterday afternoon and today that I'm feeling SUPER anxious, depressed, and having weird/unhappy thoughts. I feel totally disconnected from everything and have just wanted to be alone, although when I'm alone I get more anxious because my thoughts are depressing. I'm sure this is just my adrenals not totally kicking back in yet (I remember something like this happening when I went off Pred years ago) and I'll bounce back in a few days. I guess I'm just reaching out for support since you guys are the only people in my life who truly understand this kind of stuff. My friends and family are supportive but don't completely understand since they haven't personally experienced it. Any and all comforting words, advice, or good jokes are appreciated.
Laura
