My brain won't shut up either, hasn't for years, I miss having a good sleep, wish I could remember a time when my ears didn't ring like nuts, wish I had a way to get to the store, had enough money.... and I'm feeling like commiserating with misery today

How many times have I heard the phrase "it gets better" vs. How many times it actually got worse instead of better?...

UPDATE: Well, got my copy of Teen Ink in the mail today, just in time for V-day... "The Love Issue". Looks like I get to sit here all day and read stories of what I don't (can't) have. Whilst not even having any chocolate. Boo. Oh well, at least I have a poem in this issue. My poem is not a gushy love poem, at least. And now my parents are fighting. Here's to love!

(Can you detect my bitterness in this one)

Today is a typical Saturday. Just doing some cleaning and shopping later on. Very warm outside and that's unusual for this time of year. I feel a little bit sluggish. Nothing eventful later on. Just nice to have a break from work.

Could you copy and paste your poem here?

Sure. It's very depressing, I'll admit. It's about losing people.
The end of the poem ties in with the title.

...YOURSELF

Lately
I’ve been flaking off –
(paint chips.)
each piece a person
who was in my life, but
left me.

Whether death or choice,
each left and took a piece of me
with them. Now
I find
it’s hard to move
on with all these
holes and parts falling
out –

it’s hard
to limp through life
with no crutch, no love,
and the same broken-leg
hurt.

Torn memories wave in the mind
like torn white waving flags.
Give up …
as now, all you have
is …

I feel so normal since starting these meds. Even though I needed an adjustment upward, I have no side effects apart from a stiff neck for a short time after I take them. I was watching a series on TV when I relized I haven't felt "normal" for years. That made me wonder what if I'd found this combo of meds 30 years ago? Would I have had a chance at finishing college, keeping a job, not having so many physical problems?

Better not go there. Can't change what has passed.

Death in the extended family yesterday, so I went to visit those mainly affected by it. Good to get out of the house and see everyone, horrible that it took such a loss to get me over there.

This itching is driving me nuts. I don't have a rash or anything, just sore places from where I've scratched. I hope this is just winter skin, please let this be winter skin. I'm worrying (because I always worry) that the itching is a sign of liver problems, my last LFT was raised, due to my meds.

TMI - alert

I'm staring at every wee that I do, thinking is that dark, how dark is dark? I'm staring at every poo thinking is that pale, how pale is pale? Are my eyes yellow? Then there is the fatigue and general malaise of the past few days too.

However, I know I get somatic symptoms and this week has been a stressy one, so maybe I'm fussing over nothing. I keep telling myself, this is just winter skin. I suppose if this doesn't resolve by Monday I'll see my GP for another LFT.

It was a busy and nice day today. But nothing much socially. Didn't do anything with anyone today. Very lonely, but I kept myself busy enough. Sometimes on the weekends, I realize how lonely I really am. Sometimes it feels pathetic.

Very hot outside today and it sapped my energy. It's still warm tonight. I will watch a movie at home. I hope that the neighbors do not make much noise because I have to keep the windows open. I guess as the temperatures go up, the IQs go down. That's why I get very depressed and hate hot weather.

I'm still doing pretty good. Slightly dismayed that I gained 5 pounds since Christmas.

Thought I'd listen to calm music and tell myself to have nice dreams. I dreamed I was inpatient. Again. And it felt so real. I hate it. I don't want to be back there. It's pointless.

Woke up depressed. But I have to do something today. Like eat properly and study.

Oh Man, it's another day of feeling very depressed. I just don't feel like doing anything. Not even sure if I want to go jogging, which I always got pumped to do. Wonder if I should call my pdoc's office tomorrow and let him know what's going on? He did reduce my Effexor dose not long ago. Maybe that's a contributor to this . . . ?
