It isn’t right that I should leave a reasonably enjoyable Bible study, burst into tears and cry all the way home. But that’s what I did tonight.
Welcome to adjusting your medication! I’ll be your host…
Have only gone up another half dose. Am into the second week. Every day is characterised by varying degrees of nausea, headache, dizziness, general lethargy and the feeling that everything is slipping out of my control. Apparently it takes about three weeks to stabilise. I really hope that’s true because I don’t think I can manage much more of this. I’ve been asked whether I’ve noticed my mood improving, but I honestly can’t tell because I’ve been feeling so physically sick.
And so to bed. I just hope that tonight my neighbours don’t start hammering in the kitchen at 1.45am like they did last night. And these aren’t even the nightmare neighbours who fight, these are just the strange insomniacal Chinese neighbours. Sometimes around 11pm they conduct loud and dramatic Cantonese conversations in the kitchen or bathroom, where the sound is amplified and seemingly aimed directly into my bedroom. But last night’s hammering was a whole new stage of ‘wuh?’

what's it all about?
I'm a Christian. I get absorbed in lots of different pursuits, and my attention frequently gets snagged on whatever latest shiny thing pops into my view. I write, I sing, I design, I read, I edit, I make things, I play WoW, I play piano, I try and record music. And I struggle with depression. This blog is about all these things. And probably other things as well.

:( Hang in there! It won’t last forever ...

Well, last night it was ‘Mother Nature’ - from the sound of the thunder the storm was right over our house!

I’m also into the second week of an extra half-tablet per day of my anti-depressant medication. Perhaps that explains why I’ve been having so many headaches, trouble sleeping during the night, and trouble getting out of bed during the day.
I guess we’ll both get through it eventually! Does it help at all to know that you’re not alone?

Hi Lara
Yes it sure does help! Hope your side effects settle down soon too.

Sorry to hear that! I hope it sorts itself out and that explains why you were in such a rush to leave last night. Thanks for coming at all!!
