My depression has lifted and I've felt pretty good for almost 2 weeks. I like to think that I'm pretty emotionally honest so it's only right to share the ups as well as the downs. I am so grateful for the good days I've been having. I'm enjoying not feeling stressed and tense all of the time. I've been active and productive instead of sleeping all day. I've been more interested in my ani-pals and my plants and my nail polish. I'm on top of my chores as well as knocking things off of my to-do list. The kids and I took advantage of the nice weather yesterday and started cleaning out the garage, which is no small feat.
I'm still on Lexapro for depression and Buspar for anxiety (obviously not quitting either since they are working). Sometimes my brain won't shut up and let me sleep so I take Melatonin. I found some old psoriasis cream in my bedroom and started putting it on my face so I can enjoy my skin for a while. Too bad it doesn't help the remainder of my body (not enough cream left and who has time to medicate literally hundreds of patches every day?), but I'll have insurance this year. It's ok. So things aren't perfect, but my mental health is pretty good and I'm going to make the most of it while it lasts.
I know a lot of you have been struggling as I have. I hope if that's still the case that you catch a break soon, as well. Hang in there. The better days are worth it. ❤️
