I've returned to good health for the time being. I don't know whether cutting down on the lexapro did the trick or not, but it sure seemed that way. I'll know more after I see Dr. Ashai on Friday. Busy weekend ahead. Mom's taking me to Toby's on Sunday for my birthday and it looks like I might be... Sign in to see full entry.

Not well, but better.
Been a pretty productive afternoon here at the library but now I'm going to go home and rest awhile. Feeling a bit better, but not quite well. It's a relief to feel better especially after I found out my lithium level wasn't the problem. I still don't know what it was/is, but if it continues to get... Sign in to see full entry.

Hard to Tell
Feeling a bit better I think. It's hard to tell sometimes but my head seems a bit less foggy. I'm hot but that may be because I'm wearing a sweatshirt in 85 degree weather. Was too out of it to think about what I was putting on this morning. Still haven't heard about my reassignment. Maybe they're... Sign in to see full entry.

Out the rest of the week.
Didn't make it back to work today like I thought. I left a message that I thought I'd be out for the rest of the week. It will take at least that long for Dr Ashai to get my lab report, make whatever changes in my medication and for any change to be effective. Once again I haven't heard from Mr...

Getting money and leave back
I guess I'll go back to work tomorrow after a week and a half out sick. I'm still sick but I think I can make it in. I suspect Dr Ashai is right about my lithium level being low. We'll find out tomorrow after the results of my test come back. I figure I'll only get a partial paycheck next time. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Not much up to shopping, socializing.
Not feeling depressed anymore but very tired, no matter how much sleep I get. Maybe that's part of the depression too. Mom suggested we reschedule the shopping trip after I told her I wasn't feeling well. Good idea. Not much in the mood for shopping. But then I rarely am--typical guy in that respect...

I don't want to wait to feel better.
Every time I think the depression has gone for good, it comes back. Felt really awful this morning, not quite so bad now. I don't know if getting out helps or I was able to get out because I felt a little better. I see Suzanne, my therapist this evening. Not sure there's much she can do, i think...

Impatience and Credit Cards
Boy, Jackie was really on my case today. Her issue not mine. She could supervise me a lot more effectively if she were more patient but I guess she's not capable of that right now. Interesting shift in my attitude toward credit cards. When I first swore them off as a result of Debtor's Anonymous, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Waking up the Sleeping PIlls
Made it in to work today, barely. Mom said I looked and sounded good. It was a struggle today though. The "go to work unless I can't" philosophy is helping in a sense that there's less of a struggle deciding whether to go in each day. Didn't have to take a sleeping pill last night. Good thing. I...

Missing work and another option.
Didn't make it to work today---couldn't sleep last night. I'm not too concerned about it, I've had insomnia before and never lost any sleep over it. Finally got a letter about the Family Caseworker job. Two problems. It's in Baltimore City and it's nights/evenings ugh! I'd probably take the job in... Sign in to see full entry.
