Please can someone help me.

I am 30 years old and have just been diagnosed with underactive thyroid 6 weeks Ago, I have been out on 25mg levothyroxine. After 3 weeks of being on the tablets I had a bad weekend and continuosly cried, picked rows and contiplated hurting myself so I called the docs and he said seems like I have depression as well so put me on 20mg fluoxetine. Then last week had to get a repeat prescription for anti depressants and he upped it to 2 a day. I still feel so upset all the time. I pick rows with my boyfriend and we are close to going our separate ways. He means everything to me and does try and understand how I feel but tbh doesn't seem good enough for me. I am self destroying my relationship and I don't know if this feeling is normal whilst I'm still getting the right doseage sorted. I got upset the other day as my boyfriend said. I want the girl back who I feel in love with. I am having more blood tests on Wednesday and then an app on the 14th. I feel like I'm the only person who is depressed. Please someone tell me they have dealt with this and if it gets better. I am trying so hard. My history on google is always, "how can I stop moaning at my boyfriend ", "why am I always upset" etc, someone help me. Please email me on _____.

Hi I have been on levothyroxine for 6 weeks also and have been feeling the same way, very emotional and crying a lot. I am on 50mg and hoping it will get better too! Seeing the doctor on friday to talk about how I am feeling.

I'm exactly the same Kelli. I get so down and can't stop crying over the littlest thing. My whole personality has changed. I used to be such a happy go lucky person and now I'm just so tired, anxious, stressed, depressed and miserable all the time. sad 

I've been diagnosed as hypothyroid and have had my meds gradually increased so that I'm now taking 75mg of Eltroxin but I'm still symptomatic. I'm a single mum to two gorgeous kids but I know I'm not doing right by them  as I'm constantly moaning and giving out and I just don't have any energy to do the things we used to do together. 

What's important for you to understand is that you are NOT alone in this. It's a horrible horrible condition and you need to be kinder to yourself. 

Apparently when they get our dosage to the right level we'll start to feel normal again! smile 

I'm always here if you want to chat to someone who fully understands just how low this condition makes you feel.
