When I was 19, before I was diagnosed with hypothyroid, I was tired and depressed. I would go to work tired because I barely got any sleep at night. I was so depressed I broke up with my boyfriend, and quit my job. Because I began to get annoyed with the way I was acting, I brought my life to a limit of my house. I put on 20 pounds even though I have an active lifestyle. Finally when I went to the doctor about the issues, he got me to have bloodwork which is a standard procedure to new patients. Luckily he found that my thyroid count was low. After taking the medication, I found myself come out of the phase that was ruining my personal life. Even in the summer time, I found it cold to wear shorts half the time, never wanted to do the activities that I normally would do during the summer months. Thanks to this website, I have learned alot! Thank you!
