"Feeling better"
1:27pm Yesterday
Not too good today Mood
Thursday, November 19, 2009

am afriad I'm not too great today.

 

Depressed....not enough to call the doctor but enough to keep me indoors in my pyjama's wondering what's the point anymore.

 

I take Serotonin 5HTP for the depression and will have to up my dose to 300mg a day. 

 

I'm not at the crying stage yet and hopefully I can avoid it with some quick action and a bit of effort and support from those around me.

 

Doris104 and Inalotofpain thank you for your support today..And yes the trick really is to keep busy and fight it before it takes a hold.

 

Tomorrow will take a concerted effort on all fronts to get me to work, I have three alarm clocks and John and Kitty to kick my ass. Once at work I know I'll be fine. 

 

The one thing I do not want is to be reduced to seeing the doctor and returning to those God awful anti depressants.

    Hold on and keep fighting! Get your butt out the door and off to work! I know your depression is more than simple depression but here is an article about what to eat for depression.

Had to kick my own ass Mood
Monday, October 12, 2009

Well of course I had to kick some ass.

I finished my coffee had a quick wash and dressed and got out into the sunshine.

 

Went for a walk over the beach and feel so much better for it.

sleeping too much. Mood
Monday, October 12, 2009

I am quite depressed here today....

The sun is shinning for once and all I want to do is sleep... curl up in bed away from everything.

I have today and tomorrow to get back into some sort of shape as I return to work on Wednesday, and then Kitty comes home on Sunday.

But I just want to sleep.

I have already doubled my dose of serotonin for the winter but it doesn't seem to be kicking in.
