Journal Entry for February 9, 2009 Mood
Monday, February 9, 2009
Febuary 9th.    I cant seem to remember when was it I wrote last time?  Having some problems with this computer.     Its slower than a turtle walking through a mudslide.    Last Thursday my pain was bothering me quite a bit.   My new antidepressant has a side effect.    It allows me to only sleep for 3 hours.     I have had some restless nights because of the Celexa I think is what it is called.    I read the information that came with it and that is one of the side effects is restlessness and not able to sleep.    I dont know what to do.    I guess I will call the nurse at doctors office and ask her about this.    I did not take it last nite and I slept like 10 hours without the antidepressant.     I guess I needed to sleep.     It is very Windy today here.  We got a cold rain lastnite.    It snowed but not enough to make any real trouble on the streets here.   Now its just very windy and about 52 degrees.   They said we have like 2 more chances for snow this week.     I am going to have to go see my social worker again.    Then they make me go to the doctor for me to be able to stay on this program.  AIde to Needy disabled.   So I am going to have to go see my doctor for this program.     Its not very much money but it is better than nothing.     I just have not felt like writing everyday.    Im sure that my journal is dull.    Nothing exciting ever happens to me.    My nephew is going to have a cristening for his daughter some time later this month.     She is like 7 months old.    She is a very chubby and cute little one.   They named her a strange name..Zeah.    No body in our family has ever used that name.    So its unique thats for sure.  I spelled it wrong on her christmas gift.    Well its a different name that I did not know how to spell.    But I got it down now that its spelled Zeah.    Not much else is happening.     Just trying to figure out why I cant sleep.   Plus my pain comes and goes.    I even get pain if I sit down for a long time.  You would think that being that Im seated I would not have pain.     But even sitting for 90 minutes does make me hurt when I stand up I feel the pain.   Well I will close for now.     Im sorry if I have not wished all my friends a Happy Valentines day.    I started down my list but I know that I may have missed a few friends.    Im sorry about that.   Like I said this computer and this dial-up internet some times gives me trouble.    Yes I have dial up its much more affordable than the other internet connections around here.   I know that I am stuck still in the last centurey.    How do I know???  Because I still think like the old  fashioned way.     I still wish that they made cassette tapes instead of disc form.     Im stuck back in the 1980s thats for sure.   Embarassed Yes I am embarssed that I am stuck in the 80s.     It was a good time for me.     I miss it alot.   Heck if I could Id time travel back then again.  Bye for now.

    Not sleeping is an awful side effect for an anti-depressant to cause... lack of sleep can make depression worse, or effect our rational thought patterns, or make our pain worse... I hope you can talk to them about it. Perhaps it's a side effect that's only there when you first start on it, then fades away as your body adjusts... perhaps you could ask that. I can certainly relate to you wanting to go back to a time when life was better, and there was hope for the future, and no pain. It certainly would be good if we could all do it.
    Sending hugs and smiles... take care... xxx
