I love B-12

Here's the update. When I said I was bummed and in a funk on my last post I was really minimizing what was really going on. I was trying to focus on being positive and glossing over all of my true feelings. The truth is I was just down right depressed. I would be in the car driving and suddenly burst into tears. Not because of a sad song, sad thought, something someone said or did, but for no reason at all. Every day I was feeling more and more down when I told Ed, "I think I need a therapist." If you know my husband than you know that he is totally supportive in everything I do, but my feeling so sad made him feel really bad. Aidan was always asking me if I was happy and in trying to be a good mom I would smile and say "of course I'm happy." After a while Aidan said "Mommy, please don't be sad." That's when I knew I needed to get help.
I was all set to find a therapist when my sister told me that on Monday nights our wonderful local Health Foods Unlimited has a doctor come in to administer vitamin shots.She was going to get a B-12 shot and asked if I wanted to go with her. I hadn't been taking vitamins lately (because of pure laziness) so I decided to go. We stood in a line that was longer than I expected, (because really who wants to get a shot?), when it was finally our turn. We got the last two shots that the doc had of the Classic B-12 2x. BTW the shot doesn't go into the arm like I had thought. I really didn't expect much from the shot, but the very next day I felt so much better. I no longer feel like crying, I have more energy, and am looking forward to life again. Could Tom Cruise be right? Do we really just need to take vitamins?
If you are depressed, you should totally seek professional help, but it wouldn't hurt to take your vitamins.
