Turkey Trip Updated
You may or may not have noticed that my April calendar has filled up for posts, which means that I have finished updating my posts on our Turkey trip. There are pics within the posts, or I will make a separate post with just the photo album. There are 778 pics in the album, so…

Sleep of the Dead…
Thought a little change in title posts might be refreshing. 🙂 I finished Day 6 of the 5mg of Cipralex and took 10mg last night. I will write more about the uppage later. Last night I was meant to go out with friends to another wine mixer, but after I got home from work I…

Cipralexing Day 5 @5mg
Eventually I will stop counting the days, I promise. However, for the time being it is good for me to keep track of the days as I build up my dosage. I’m not sure yet if I will stay on 10-15mg or go to 20mg. Hopefully, by the time I build to that I will…

Cipralexing Day 4 @5mg
Day 4 was the best day since I have been back from my trip. I think I am mostly recovered from the food poisoning and the three hour nap the day before along with an early sleep helped with the tiredness. So, it seems I am adjusting. My head still gets hazy moments, mostly in…

Cipralexing Day 3 @5mg
This morning I woke up at 4:30 and could never really go back to sleep until I finally had to get up around 5:30 for work. Clearly, I am still stressing out about things as that is the general reason why I end up awake or can’t sleep through the nights. However, either because of…

Cipralexing Day 2 @5mg
Well, another day has passed and I feel okay still. My stomach is still not quite right from the food poisoning and a friend of mine has suggested that I may also have a common bacteria in my stomach. So, I am going to make an appointment to see a doctor about it. As for…

Cipralexing Day 1 @5mg
So…I decided that with my dark thoughts before my trip that it might not be a bad idea to give the antidepressants another try given that my stressors are generally external and stem from people, from whom I cannot totally isolate myself. Whilst in Turkey, I got my hands on more Cipralex as it is…

I’m back…
Back to the grind. Trying to get my new schedule settled and to also re-evaluate my priorities each day. More to say. More to tell. But…am working on uploading the pics from the trip and then will update with

Update – Turkey
So, I had started to post on my days in Turkey, but then I decided to postpone them until I can put up pictures, otherwise, it isn’t as good to just read about it. Besides that, I need to have an abbreviated version of my pics since there are going to hundreds of photos to…

Spring Break!
As I typed the title, I realized it could have another meaning…as in releasing a mental break…. I guess my darkish thoughts have not yet passed, but lie hidden underneath with moments of peace, but with occasional reminders that it is still there. Anyway, spring break has indeed begun and I take off tomorrow for…
