Good Afternoon, My friends… I hope today finds you well.
It has been a rough 24 hour period for me. I saw no sleep last night. My insomnia & anxiety kicked my ass, and to add fuel to the fire I also had a wild allergy attack. So much for going to bed early for a restful nights sleep last night.
After sleeping a whole hour and a half, I woke up feeling as if someone hit me over the head with a baseball bat. My mind was racing like crazy, and my meditation for the first time failed me. When I’m this ramped up, I tend to gnaw on my fingernails. Well, before I removed them altogether, I applied press on gel tips this morning to avoid the continuous nervous habit. So, if that’s considered self-care today, Whoopie to me! LOL!
Hell, self-care flew out the window throughout last night and all day today, my mind won’t shut down for one second to calm down. It suffices me to say, I can’t wait to see my therapist tomorrow and doctor this upcoming Monday.
On that note… I’m going to continue reading the “Reader”, and perhaps be a bit creative myself to relieve my pent up tension.
I hope you all have a wonderful evening and thank you, once again for allowing me to just ramble in order to just get it out of my mixed up, non-functioning brain for now. 🙂
Take Care & God Bless,
Beckie

What is the lithium supposed to do? did they explain this to you?

Yes, it’s supposed to replace my current mood stabilizer, which is Tegretol. It’s worked for years, but only for like w months at a time, and then I hit a depressive cycle, so they thought they’d try something else. Fingers crossed that it helps! I’m remaining optimistic 😊

I was on Tegretol about a year and a half ago, for only a short period. My system didn’t agree with it. I am so hoping and praying that the lithium works wonders for you Barb. I know this has been a really rough time for you. I’m crossing my fingers that my doctor can help me next week. The anxiety is getting worse all throughout the last two weeks, and I’m exhausted from it.
