Monday Blues

I have been taking medicine for a year now, or trying to find the right mixture of medicne, rather, for a year. I ran out of one of them, oh, about 5 or 6 days ago, and for one reason or another didn't make it to pick the refill up until today. Today is Monday, and I should be at work, but instead I have been stuck to my couch, nauseous, unable to even consider walking out the front door for any reason. I was shutting down. It was getting worse last night, I did manage to walk to the dumpster twice, but couldn't even conceive of driving 2 miles to Walgreens. I might have made it if it had been warm weather, or if I hadn't had to dress my child and pack her into the car. This is all just to drive thru a pharmacy pick up window.

So, I have taken the missing drug, and am feeling calmer, for sure, and Jeremy is home, which always makes it easier to leave the house, but it is still uncomfortable. Not that I have anywhere to go, now.

I always feel extreme guilt for all of this. And being with out the specific med made that come back up even stronger. I also have strong feelings about taking medicine, at all, but it seems to be in the cards for me, at least for now.

I will go to therapy as soon as I can afford it, but for now what I have is a med doctor and getting by with a little help from my friends.

I will see how it feels to leave this up and invite a few people to read it. I am sure it is vague, I am also out of the practice of blogging. I don't know how this one works, is it completely public, or do you get to manage your readers?

That is all for now, and I shall check to see how the management of the blog works.

Thanks.
