Thanks so much for your kind words and advise, most of the time i just sit on the floor and play with my girls all day i just get to make them breakfast lounch and dinner, my poor hubby has been really good and dont complain about the mess or no dinner ready for him,, I guess the most depresing thing is not knowing what I have i just feel tired no energy and for the past week i have been feeling really sad,, is like the pms that i was sufering for like 2 or 3 days is going on and on and geting worse, i really dont care if i cant loose the 50 lb i gained since i was put on the depo provera shoot, which i stoped in august, if i can get to feel better with more energy and not feeling so blue, that will be a cheap price to pay,, cause i really miss my old self, again THANKS!!!! so much for your time to read and to give me that great advise Thanks!!!!!!!!

I relate.  Can't offer a magic solution, wish I could.
Take every day as it comes, if you have to, take very minute as it comes.
Plan something small each day as a 'positive'.
Some ideas:
Have a chill out time planned as soon as the girls go to bed- make a nice cuppa and read a magazine.
Call a friend each day (even when you think you can't face calling anyone).
Try not to turn to food for comfort- it will add to your woes.  
Choose a CD that is upbeat and put it on- I have found this helps lift my mood.
Get outside of the house each day- no matter what! even if it is for 10 minutes.
Workouts- even when you feel like you can't put one foot in front of the other- help you because they release endorphins- the 'happy' hormone.
Once a week pick (or buy if you have to) a bunch of perfumed flowers- even a small moment sniffing a beautiful flower can give you a tiny moment of peace.
Keep posting, keep going... step by step, minute by minute.
If you are a believer- seek comfort through prayer.  
Buy (maybe you have one anyway?) a meditation CD and play it at least once a day- make the time! You deserve and need to have this destress time.
For the moment- say 'NO' to any requests from others.  You can always change your mind to a yes later if you decide you want to,
Smiling and laughing produce endorphins that help you feel relaxed – so dig out those comedy DVDs! (found this one on a website).  Plus they can take your mind off things for a while too.

I also can say that it will get better.  In the thyroid world you find out that everything is slow and wait.  It eventually straightens out.  The weight problem I haven't learned to deal with yet.  I have gained 20 lbs. since the RAI and haven't figured out how to get it off yet.  I am keeping my calories under 1500 and mostly around 1200 but haven't lost any weight yet.  It may be that my exercising is non-existent at this time.  I am active with housework but as I am able will start to exercise.

I also believe in healing and donot expect to have this disease all my life.  
As my mom would say "Keep on Keeping on" or what is your alternative?   Hope you know that we all understand and will be praying for you.  lol linda (:

Just to say I fully understand how you are feeling. I think how you are feeling is pretty 'par for the course' in thyroid disease.

Sorry cant be of any other help to you. Soemtimes its just nice to know..you are not the only  one etc.

Once your medication gets in your system you will feel so much better. But it can take up to 6 weeks, but you will get there.
Wish you well.

I'm the same way. I just posted a question in this forum. I am 27 years old and hypothyroid [and have been since I was 12] but my TSH [and complete hormonal balance] went wacky when I gave birth to my son 3 moths ago. I am constantly tired and feel like ****. My son is the most important thing in my life [well, and my husband :] and I'm trying my best to be optimistic for them! but my TSH is wayyyy off, and it's making me exhausted! I still have 30 lbs. of baby weight that I'm trying to lose and it's not budging! The buldge is not budging :[
I have NO clothes that fit me anymore. None of my pre-pregnancy clothes are even closes to getting over this buldge! So, I'm forced to wear work out clothes [which is completely NOT my style] I feel so frumpy :(
My Endocrinologist said it's going to be 2 months before I see results from the new dosage of Synthroid I was prescribed [and it's only been 1 week today since the increase, which means another 7 weeks of feelin' like ****] :[
But, everytime I look at that beautiful baby boy of mine -- it makes it all worth while. Just keep thinking about your babies!! It'll get better -- I know it will :)
Just remember .. you're NOT alone!!
Good luck to you! [and me! :]
God bless!
