Is it always this tired in the morning?
I had my first physical in more than 10 years yesterday and it turns out that aside from having high blood pressure (which I sort of knew about) and a lot of weight to lose (again, no surprise there), I'm clinically depressed and have been medicated.
I took my first prescribed anti-depressant last night, and you may have seen me on the news this a.m. leaping about in traffic screaming at people.
No, that didn't happen. To be honest, I'm not certain anything's happened. I stayed up too late last night watching everything (I do enjoy "Six Feet Under," but I can see why Py might enjoy it more) and this a.m. came too early, but I managed a mile walk in very light rain and got to work more or less on time (after a much bigger breakfast than I usually have -- egg, toast, sausage, hashbrown, glass of oj) and now here I am here.
I had one piece of nicotine gum when I woke up two hours ago, and I'm having another one right now, but I'm trying to not chew that much. My head is buzzing a little bit and I have so little work to do today but I want to get it done as soon as I can. My sister and I are getting together for coffee this afternoon if she remembers, so I want to be free to do that if it actually comes to pass.
Overall, beyond the generic Zoloft (which my insurance covered part of, which was nice) and keeping a food diary (I dutifully wrote down the egg, toast, sausage, hashbrown and orange juice) -- my doctor said to keep up the exercise and that I'm reasonably healthy, so yay.
Wow, it's been a long time since I journaled. I need to journal more.
