Hello again, at last! I post after nearly a month of silence! I promise to be better about blogging in the future :D
So, good news in my life: I've got a job! I work at a company called APS as a receptionist and data-entry clerk. I'm still training, but I really like the people I work with, as well as the general atmosphere. I don't have many hours, but the hours I do have are great for when I start school this summer (or fall, depending on some other stuff).
Also, I am now 21! I am completely and utterly legal! Which doesn't change much except allowing me to purchase alcohol. Which I don't drink. Or gamble, but I don't have money ... hmmm ...
My girls are both doing well, yay for rattiness! They're so cute, although they're back into their small cage. First paycheck is going to go toward buying a new, larger cage. Joy.
Bad news? I'm getting off of my crazy meds (Lamictal and Zoloft), which is taking a while. My doctor finally said it was okay to lower my Zoloft and then go off, and we'd look at Lamictal later.
The good part about this is I'm feeling alive, my creativeness is coming back in force, and I feel more energetic and - in general - happy. I can't say for certain, but I think I've started laughing more, which is good.
The bad part is that I'm finally off of my Zoloft, and I've been having the worst withdrawal symptoms. Headache (constant, piercing, and it seems immune to painkiller), dizziness, tingling in my hands and feet ... I've had horrible nightmares, night sweats, and general problems sleeping. I'm tired all the time (which could be from mono ... ), and it 's hard for me to concentrate. I hate it. The headache is the worst part. That and the tingling.
Well, that's all for now,
Fare thee well!
Great news about the job and (sort of) the meds. Withdrawal sounds really horrible, but it seems like in the long run you'll be better off without the meds. I'm glad that you're feeling happier XD
