Fun, not.
Well, I think it is about time for another update in the life of ali-chay and her going off meds.
Well, the head fogginess and appetite thing have stopped. That's always good. I've got to say my anxieties about my weight have just about shot through the roof, I can't remember being this anxious for a long time.
I have a herbal supplement to help me sleep so hopefully I'll be catching a few more Z's at a more reasonable hour. I'm also trying to do gym sessions 4 times a week because apparently exercise is really good for mental health (and weight loss, if I'm being honest). I wish I could find a list of foods which are really full of serotonin or something but the only one I know is banana and I don't like them.
I suppose the only concerning thing at the moment is how difficult I am finding it to have fun. I went to the pub last night, was there for like an hour then went "I'm bored. I"m going home". I can't even get interest in a movie at the moment! Everytime somebody suggests an activity to me I feel kind of like "yeah, I guess" in stead of YES ! HOORAY!
Maybe this is because I'm tired, but perhaps need to find some activities I can really immerse myself in. I'm looking up cake decorating courses at the moment as a start. Maybe I would enjoy that.
