EXPERIENCING MENIERE'S DISEASE: DEPRESSION
The depression stage is the most difficult. The period when you reach the bottom, the lowest ebb in the process of adjustment. You may listen to what others are saying but you are not sure that what they suggest is worth doing, or even that you want to try any more. You may well experience some or all of the following negative reactions.
- A desire to withdraw from family and friends and the feeling that you are being left out of their lives.
- Disrupted sleep patterns - not being able to sleep or wanting to sleep all the time.
- Loss of appetite or compulsive eating behaviour.
- A tendency to cry easily and a lot.
- Continual brooding about things you can no longer do.
- Feelings of emptiness, hopelessness, and loss of self-esteem.
- Feelings of rejection.
- In extreme cases, feelings and expressions of suicidal behaviour.
When depression is at its deepest, you are very introspective and continually ask questions of yourself to which there seem to be no answers.
It is through the process of asking questions and attempting to find answers that you finally ask, "What can I do to help myself?" You come to realize that you do have worth as a person and that you do have the power to do something about your situation. Even though you may not have all the answers, you are beginning to adjust; beginning to accept the diagnosis of Meniere's disease and beginning to understand what living with Meniere's entails.
