Today I went to a tailgate breakfast party (it was an early game). I felt really really great this morning, just a little jittery. Got to talk to people, I was upbeat, really on top of conversations and totally at ease.
As the afternoon wore on I got groggy, really groggy. I went over to a classmate's to work on a project and found myself starting to nod off. And then since I hadn't eaten in a long time I started to feel extra weird. I...should have waited to take the dose this evening, I am finally starting to calm down a bit, I took it about three hours ago and about 30 min in I needed to take a nap. I have next to me a steaming mug of black tea, hopefully I will feel a bit more awake.
I have made it a point to explain to a good many of the people I encounter daily what is going on. I want to be sure they understand what to do if they observe some undesired effect of this medication. I know for a lot of people this is a private matter, but I disagree. And I love that everyone is supportive telling me "I'm glad you will start to feel better!" and I reassure them that I will be doing more than simply drugs to manage this so I can be a happier, healthier person. It is so reassuring to have so much support. I feel like these people have been placed around me. I hope also they can learn from me (or at least learn about these meds).
until next time,
Aum Shanti
