MoonGoddess's Path

Can you find out the name of the medication so I can see if its something mom should consider? She's always tired and needs a nap, probably a side effect of the K as she used to be so energetic.
 
:ack2: I seriously just was visiting a website & saw this...

"Are You Ready?
Just 317 days 'til Christmas!"

......really? Are we already counting down?

Jeez oh pete.

& I was just looking at a new deck of tarot cards.....
 
ok so... I'm not really feeling like working today, but I am doing a few things,... & goofing off a lot in between.

Just found these shoes & I don't know whether to eat them or run in them...



I kinda want them but I wonder if they would kill my feet. Kinda cute in a girly princess cupcake way!
 
Hey Moon,

Just stopping in to say hello. Glad to hear that your new medication that you are taking is making a difference it sounds like. One step at a time my friend, you are doing great :)

-Sam
 
I'm curious to see what you think of the books you bought. I do like to read when I can find time. And body image is something we can all definitely use some pointers on. Hope you are having a wonderful week!
 
I am still waiting on the books to arrive. Bummer. The one I did get is way too clinical to really get into, but I'm trudging along in it. Its hard to really look at yourself in a new way.
 
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!!!

In my opinion this should be a day spent doing things we love. All about some self love & well if that includes a special someone else so be it, but the best love is the one we have for ourselves. (which is something I am working on...)

Started the new medication this morning so hopefully I will have more energy soon. Plus one of the POTENTIAL side effects is weight loss....uh.. sign me up for that one! Either way if I can shake this & gain back some of my own motivation & energy that will help me be more active more often, so it can't be too bad. I'm still taking the Klonopin, but the Cymbalta should help too. Still feels strange to be popping pills, but whatever works. I am worth trying anything that can help.

Ended up being down to 181.0 this morning. I thought it would be worse since I ended up going through a drive thru yesterday. IT was an insanely busy day with work meetings, psychiatrist appointment, & then I started the HR Certification course. I was freaking out about the class & had to take a extra dose, but I knew it would upset my stomach if I didn't eat something so I grabbed a single with just cheese from Wendy's. I felt guilty but it was better than the Quiznos sandwiches they had for us. Dripping with mayo. The had a salad that was dripping with ranch & a BIG HUMONGOUS plate of cookies. I did have some water & a half a cookie.

I see Self is starting up the annual challenge at the end of the month. I'm thinking of trying that again, depending on how I am feeling. I have to get the mood under control before stressing the physical, but maybe by the end of the month... I also saw they have a SelfDiet program. Need to check that out more. My therapist thought it might do me good to go with a program & take the responsibility (*& guilt when I fail) off my shoulders for a while. I'm just not sure I can give up that much control. I'm a picky eater & I want what I want, when I want it....not just to follow some set program. Plus I want a lifestyle change not some fad diet program that will work, but then at the end what next? Back to the old ways that weren't working? Plus...expense is a concern. I am dealing with enough added cost that I wasn't budgeting for with all these sessions & pills. Ug.


BUT for today...

I celebrate me. & those I love. Which includes my buddies on here who's support means the WORLD to me. I am not counting calories, I'm not feeling guilt about anything today (other than I want champagne & its still off limits! argh), but still today is a day of designated joy. :D
 
Hi MG! Thanks for stopping by. I've been very busy, but wanted to stop and say thanks for the V Day greeting. Hope you had a good one!
 
Hi.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I managed to have a WONDERFUL Valentines & even made it out to the Aquarium on Friday, which was great. Since then I have been sleeping A LOT. Guess my body is dealing with the side effects of the new medication. Hopefully it won't last long. Certainly not burning any calories or working out, unless sleeping more hours than being awake counts. Just hope its all worth it.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

..nap time again for me...

If you're sleeping that much you can't be eating so it all balances out -- :)

Have a good rest... :D

and glad you had a great vd :D
 
I am craving carbs.

So far I am loving crackers, blueberry bagels & ginger ale & not too much else. Had a grilled cheese for lunch but it wasn't anything fun. I just feel gross. I feel zonked & like a big fuzzy headed blob. Still hoping it will go away & I'm not too worried since its the side effects we talked about could happen. Just sucks. I have no energy to work out or do anything.

Frustrating.

but I have to trust the process, right?

I'll give it a few more days. I feel like a hibernating bear.
 
patience grasshopper patience...

give it some time...

but at some point check in with your doctor and confirm that what you're experiencing is to be expected and are there any ways to counteract it...

Hang in there...
 
So I made it to work today.

Not sure that I am the most focus valuable employee but I made it in. I soooo am missing my bed or couch or anything I can get a nap on right now.

I called my psychiatrist & am waiting to hear back from him. I am scheduled to double the dose Thursday, but I wonder if that would completely put me comatose! Not really what I was hoping for.

The SELF challenge starts in 6 days & I really wanted to do it this year.

I am still reading & doing the body image work, which is interesting... so I'm hoping to get in some psychical activity started up again soon. I feel like I am stopped in a place in time. I want to do more, I want to get up & go... just feel out of gas.
