Ongoing mental health issues, new pattern of starting to lie and hide the truth?!
Question: Ongoing mental health issues, new pattern of starting to lie and hide the truth!?
I have struggled with mental health issues all of my life!. I have been under treatment and on meds for years (mainly for anxiety and depression)
My depression has been really bad lately!. I have been under the care of a counsellor and psychiatrist!. Two weeks ago we have decided to up my meds!.
I am lying to my family (including my supportive hubby) and friends about how much sleep I am getting!. I am coming home from work and sleeping for hours and hours!. (Since I am in the service industry I have a cancellation policy!. If I am cancelled, I still get paid therefore it's easy for me to lie about where and when I worked!.)
I am also lying about my food consumption and my weight it going through the roof!.
What should I be doing (or not doing)!?
I would appreciate honest, supportive answers!.
ThanksWww@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Well, at least you are being honest with yourself!.!.!. and that's a great start!. Your new med doses could be increasing your appetite and your need for sleep, or it could be your depression!. You know that these meds take a while to build up in your system, but you need to let your doctor know the truth about all of this- they won't be able to give you the appropriate treatment otherwise!.
You should tell your husband the truth!.!.!. if your weight is going through the roof, he probably already knows you are lying about your food consumption!. If he is supportive, why sabbotage him!?
You should call your doc for an appointment tomorrow and discuss these negative behaviours!. None of them will make your life better or you any happier!.
