It was something I'd dealt with off and on for years, but never knew was something other people had until I read that snippet in her book. It used to make me feel absolutely crazy. I was on and off so many different meds at the time though that I never even thought it might be related to them. I thought it was just me. Anyway, it can totally be something worth looking into if it's bothering you.
Thanks. This isn't the first time it's happened. I'm not sure, but I think I remember feeling like this before my meds. It doesn't happen often, but it is something to look into.
Slept for a while like 6 hours or so not counting the "waking up" staring at the inside of my eye mask. I'm so not wanting to go to work still not focusing well and have so much to do today. Want to drive cross country and move to a new state. Trying to maintain a bit of control of these urges. Should call Pdoc office and see what they say about all of this, but I don't want to talk to someone who has no idea what brought me in in the first place. One more day of having to get up at 3:45am for work. So Saturday I might be able to "rest" longer, don't want to, but I know I should.
