Another step today

By HP Tuesday, October 07, 2008

Today I was able to actually get a little work done, but still feel weighted.  Its very tiring this whole living thing.  I am pretty determined to keep doing it though.  The cat had to remind me that I had neglected her.  I did focus a little and I managed to avoid the evil nap, but I didn't get the car into the shop and didn't go grocery shopping and now here I am whining. 

 

It is strange to be both aware and unaware at the same time of how bad a state things in your head are getting.  But unlike the last few weeks, I actually was aware sooner of the world around me.  I was aware that day was getting away from me.  The fact that I am writing this says that I am climbing outta the well.  The fact that my neglected garden saw me today says something good.  I attended a wedding over the weekend that it was strength of will and my better half's encouragement that got me through.

 

I will try to keep posting...  I will try to keep climbing out... I am still here if you need me!

I used to deal with that evening zombie mode, i couldnt keep my eyes open if i tried it was terrible, it would come right at 3hrs after taking my meds, i would fall asleep at work at my desk on the phone even, i dealt with it for about 2 months then came to the conclusion, " theirs no way i can go on tired like this " and told my Doctor, he said ok instead of taking the meds when i wake up, i take them when i go to sleep, when i wake up i dont feel drugged up and it stays with me all day i do double the dose, i can feel the meds starting to ware off late in the evening a perfect time too, maybe you can come to some type of solution like that.

being tired when meds kick in could cause you all kinds of problems trying to function & think rite durring the day.

When my son was struggling with that last year, I helped him to write a daily schedule.  We scheduled play in there as well as showering, homework, meals, etc.  It really seemed to help him because he knew he had time to do everything and was able to finish what he had to do.  It may seem silly but it really helped him through the rough patch.
