  • 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 if you just want the highlights, I recommend just going to the posts. 😉 Our last free day…

  • 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 took a nap and woke up feeling just totally exhausted. It’s strange as I didn’t feel that tired…

  • 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 have seen my therapist again…. In any case, the only change I really notice is the continued moments…

  • 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 the afternoons, so am hoping that is just a phase or I guess I will get used to…

  • 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 the lack of sleep or being hormonal and/or the cipralex, I was in a daze most of the…

  • 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 the meds, I think all is good for now. I have two more days at 5mg and then…

  • 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 much cheaper there and I did not need a prescription. Also, my therapist is off for a couple…

  • 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

  • Today was the last of our tour-type activities. We had the same start as yesterday including the bus ride over the sea and back again to first visit the Spice Bazaar, which was quite interesting and colorful to see. There wasn’t just spices there,but souvenir items, scarves, jewelry, etc. [shashin type=”photo” id=”7506,7507,7508″ size=”small” columns=”max” order=”user” position=”center”] After that, we got on a boat for our half-day Bosphorus cruise, which means about 1.5 hours…
