Sorry to have been scarce the last few days. I thought I'd spend one day being totally lazy and recovering. But then I haven't wanted to do anything since. Sure feeling like depression. Wanting to sleep all the time, hiding in my room, feeling totally **** about myself, not caring about or feeling much of anything, irritable, not wanting to do anything. It all seems like such a chore. Today was the first day I was determined to put clothes on (as opposed to pjs). I did. Then promptly went to sleep in them. I forced myself to walk to the store tonight to get bandaids. I'm supposed to take the bulky bandaging off and put a bandaid over the scar/stitches and all I had was little ones that don't stay put. So needed something a bit more robust.

Aaaanyhow... I couldn't help but wonder if the painkillers hit a switch. Even though I only took them for one day. (??) I will try to force myself out tomorrow. If I don't start coming out of this ... hopefully just a blip ...I will add Abilify (basically my PRN) back in.

Other than that, healing up very well. I only get a zing of pain if I try to do something requiring strength. Ziplock bags are a *****. Who would have thought?(!)
