About Me

I'm with you on the "yo mamma" thread- completely inappropriate.. i can't imagine what kind of insensitive people would actually reply to that... i hope you're doing okay.

I am feeling better but am not sleeping so good and i feel a bit on the high side. Just got off the phone with my pharmacist and she told me that she feels that I am increasing my dosage too much at once. My doc doubled my anti-depresant. She told me to call my doctor tonight...luckily he puts his home phone number in the phone book to maybe ramp it up a bit more slowly. I don't know if it is me coming out of the depression or slight mania. The sleep part worries me. I have been drinking beer to help bring me down. My husband and I are going to Ottawa this weekend to celebrate my birthday I hope this med change wont' ruin it for us.

I feel really good today...wondering if the meds could be working so soon or is it a manic phase. I find that I drink when I am feeling badly. I figure it's better than suicide. I wish my hubby would understand that and not be so hard on me when I drink. It's funny because he keeps alcohol in the house and last weekend bought two bottles of wine when we were up at the cottage and he didn't expect me to drink any of them. Well I was into them like a dirty shirt and he got upset. Also he doesn't get upset when I have a beer with dinner. I just don't understand sometimes. Funny isn't it.
