Being on my own…
Does being on my own cause my bipolar tendencies to act up? This question came to my mind today as I contemplated my sort of manic feelings of needing to accomplish a lot. Here’s what I did today: *Slept in (9.30) for me… *Search for a number of TV shows to download and began the…

Eleven Days In….
Time for a wee update on the drugs. Do I call them drugs or medication or is it the same? Hm… So, as you can see I still am pondering things at a weird depth, but the change is happening in that I am not really worrying about things so much. In fact, I feel…

Last Dosage Increase…
Phew the week is finally over. One more major item on my list of things to get done and then I may relax a bit more. Last night I started on the 20mg of Cipralex. This will mark the start of the 4th week and so I should be noticing more the effects. I asked…

Cipralexing Day 4 @15mg
Thought it was time to do an update on the cipralex since I have not really focused on it lately. I was sitting waiting for my pizza to be finished at work and realized that I definitely am not thinking about a trillion different things at once. Rather now it’s like hundreds – which is,…

Cipralexing Day 3 @10mg
Surprisingly, I still feel fewer effects of the Cipralex with the higher dosage. It is good to not have the haziness, but I am not sure if it also means that I am calmer or if I am not as affected. I wanted to try staying at the 10mg for a while, but have to…

Cipralexing Day 2 @10mg
Strangely, I feel less hazy on the higher dosage. Maybe by this afternoon that will change as I notice I do get a little bit more tired. In any case, no side effects that I can see so far and I think I am calmer, but can’t say for sure. I will just have to…

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…

Dark Thoughts…
Me and vodka do not really go well together. Whenever I have vodka drinks I end up feeling very very dark. With my already dark tendencies, especially of late (as you may notice in my posts), I get really hopeless about this life. Anyway, I have really been unhappy with everything and everyone lately. One…
