Hashimotos, Pituitary Adenoma, & a whole bunch of crap emotions

Let me start from the beginning: I have always been on the emotional side; quick to anger (that could quite possibly be because I am a red head), quick to cry, mood swings like crazy, & questioning my sanity for as long as I can remember. At 19 I was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma and if you know anything about the pituitary, you know that it controls your hormones. I felt like I had some answers. I was then told that my weight gain and emotional outbursts had nothing to do with that and because it was told to me by people I trusted, I felt like I had failed, I am not sure at what but I just spiraled into this depression and tiredness. Many years and a few boyfriends later, I knew that I just wasn't normal. I thought it was me, that there was just something wrong with me and I was just going to have to find the "right person" who could understand all my faults and deal with my emotional baggage. Now I sit here at 31 years old. I am still a single mom to the most wonderful child in the world and I have now been diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease. I found a PA who took the time to take care of me and now I am on this road to getting better... hopefully. My appointment to see the endocrinologist is August 20. I have to admit, I am relieved and ready. Part of having Hashimoto's and probably an adenoma is exhaustion. To some it may seem like laziness, but I can promise you it's not. I could sleep ALL day and it sucks. I am an emotional wreck. I have no control over when I cry at all. I can be chill and the next minute fly off the handle. This is my life, my incredibly emotional life that I am trying to get back to some sort of normalcy. I hope that my experiences can help someone else who is like me, confused, emotional, drained, depressed. Walk with me, I am ready to start living my life.
