So here's a medical conundrum. I'm on this medication for my impulsive/compulsive/obsessive behavior. It works fantastically, and I'm ready to increase the dosage. One caveat. It's messing up my blood sugar. In fact, it can induce diabetes. Now I've been through every brain drug there is, just about, so finding something that works for me is a big ( Read more... )

Woke up too late to run before stretch class. Other than that had a great day and got everything else done. I actually did try to pop into the gym before it closed, but only one treadmill was working and someone was on it. However, since I don't volunteer tomorrow because I have an appointment, I can do my run in the morning. How is it that all ( Read more... )

I kept telling myself, you need to eat, you need to rest, you need to go out and socialize with ( Read more... )

Yesterday was supposed to hang with some friends and have Shaolin come over and teach. He came by, but they didn't/couldn't for various reasons. Learned a little circle walking, had lunch, and watched a movie that I didn't review for once. Ended up getting into an argument over whether suicide is selfish or not and I never got the full bodywork ( Read more... )

Must be that I've upped the new meds and my brain just can't seem to function through it, because I'm just spacing out today. Woke up early, 0630 (when I didn't have to be up until 0900) and couldn't get back to sleep despite being dragged out tired.
