I am feeling worn-out, these days. This peri-menopause thing, has destroyed my appetite and my ability to sleep. I am basically struggling to get through the days. I feel like I could crash and burn, at any time now.
I did call my psychiatrist, yesterday, and she increased my Neurontin, so that I will take more, at bedtime. She said that this will help me sleep. I really hope it does. I miss the bright, alert, and happy me.
I really wish that I could take next week off from work, but I can’t. So, I am planning to take the following week off, to rest, and get things done, if I feel like doing anything. I just hope that I can hang on to my sanity long enough, to make it until next week.
Even though my body and my mind are exhausted, I am trying to stay positive, and cheerful. I don’t feel depressed, or psychotic, but somewhat anxious, and totally wiped out. I am also a bit worried, that my depression and psychosis, will surface because I am vulnerable now. I am confident in my doctor’s abilities to help me, though.
Hello,
I’m Christine
My name is Christine and I am almost 45 years old. This is my very first blog. I am writing because I feel like I am living in a closet. But I am not gay, I am mentally ill, I have Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Not many people know this about me. I have been fearful of “coming out”, because, frankly, the human population has not always been kind to people with mental illness. But isn’t it time that we come to accept all of our bothers & sisters, regardless of their differences?
