ups and downs

A friend reminded me that even as we get better, there are the steps backward in between. It's a good reminder.
I woke up before noon but stayed in bed for another two hours today...I just didn't want to get going. But I got up and took my meds...including the Nuvigil. I think it does help. I don't feel as awful as I did yesterday. I was just so uncomfortable yesterday. I felt like absolutely everything was irritating. I wonder if it's my hormones. It probably is a contributing factor. 
I sometimes forget that even when I'm not depressed, PMS can get ugly for me. When I was doing ok and got PMS I would often wonder if I was getting depressed again...and then it would go away. I hope that's what's been going on with me the last few days. If not, I was worried I was getting worse instead of better. But, see above - yes, there will be bad days in between. Just remember that.
I will try to be positive. Even though it's hard some days. Really hard.
