cybermathwitchHey, Gretta and Carl - you should friend ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
through_a_glass so that posts'll show up on your friends list. Smooch!
It's actually going pretty well, all things considered. I went back to see my psychiatrist the other day and she added yet another med to my list - lamictal, which is generally prescribed for bi-polar disorder. I have no idea if she thinks that I have that, or if she just thinks that I have symptoms that will be treated by it. She didn't say, just asked me if I had trouble with irritability and frustration, and I said yes. I finally got my Klonopin refilled, and just in time, because I woke up on Monday morning and promptly had a panic attack. I'm not sure if I had a stomach virus that made me more susceptible or if the attack just made me sick to my stomach, but I called in sick and spent a better part of the day in bed. The Klonopin helped though - the attack went away and didn't come back. Now I'm just in that kind of limbo where I feel like I'm looking over my shoulder waiting for another one to sneak up on me or somesuch.
I think I like the new drug though. Yesterday, for the first time in a very, very, very long time, I was exhausted when I got home from work, but it was a physical exhaustion, not a mental/emotional one. For so long (literally since high school), I've felt like I was running on the barest remnants of energy, kind of like my mind was going so fast or working so hard just to keep up with daily life that it didn't leave anything over for the rest of me. Yesterday I was calm all day, and in a good mood and could handle things without feeling like I wanted to scream. Today's been a little more stressful, but only moderately so. I think my system is trying to catch up on lost sleep now.
My car is dead, and I'm not entirely sure why. It just stopped on me, and Carl and Jim both say that it sounds like the alternator died, but I'm wondering if the battery didn't just die... the little battery light has been on for quite awhile now, but I just never got around to *doing* anything about it - there never seemed to be enough time. They keep telling me that dead batteries don't act like that though.
There's a truly *beautiful* vid to Evanescence's My Immortal that's J/A - it's at DallaScaper's site, go check it out if you have a minute.
Overall, I'm sitting at my desk writing away my lunch time, and wishing that I could go home, have sex, knit, read, watch tv, and veg out (maybe take a nap?) not necessarily in that order. Maybe even play Riven awhile - I beat Myst III: Exiles on the play station with only minimal hints from the book, so Riven is my next challenge.
I'll probably add more when I get home.
