thyroid med upped

[sixfeetunder]

i been feeling really really depressed because my thyroid hormones are out of wack (don't have a thyroid due to cancer 6 yrs ago). they had to up my med but they said it would take a while for the hormones to be at a normal level. so there is a reason for me being depressed but that doesn't help me feel any better. for past 3 nights my depression has hit its highest. last night was its worst. i was have suicidal thoughts. correct me if i am wrong but has been over a year or almost a year since i was suicidal or posted here in the depression area. so i am greatly dissapointed in myself that i have to today. also i am ashamed and angered at myself cause i cut tonight. i don't know how i am going to tell my bf without breaking his heart. what has stopped me before is him possibly breaking up over my Self injury. i am ashamed for many reasons. one i SI'd. two i have gain tons weight and three i know i put shame to my partner when he finds out. so that makes me really depressed and just wish i was dead but i will not act on my suicidal thoughts cause i know i'll break too many hearts and i want to die old and happilly with my bf. too the point should i make an appt with my psychiatrist? also does anybody have experiance with wellbutrin?

I know that weight gain is a symptom of a less active thyroid. So I guess that's why you have gained weight if you didn't get enough hormones from your meds.

If I were you I would talk to my GP or a thyroid specialist first. I was told that if thyroid problems can cause psychological problems and a lot of other stuff. So, if you are depressed because of a lack of thyroid hormones then you are probably going to get better once your meds start to work. (I'm not sure about that though, cause I'm not a dr)
