So I can say that I have been feeling quite a bit better over the last week. I did have the flu September 2 - 7, but my spirits were fine despite being ill. Allergies have been buggin like crazy - I have used 6 of my Imitrex since Friday, so I think I need to get some different allergy medicine, the Claritin just doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Plus I don't think I should be using the Excedrin for my headaches any more, I think that is what is irritating my ulcer and not allowing it to heal. I am going to try the Excedrin Tension Headache. It is just acetaminophen and caffeine. Hopefully it works.
I went to the doctor on Friday and he gave me another 20 of the Klonopin. He said at this point the Zoloft should have saturated my system and I might want to look at other ways to feel better. He said we could try upping the Zoloft or I could try therapy. So I bought a couple of books about cognitive behavioural therapy. I am already nervous about reading them, though. I don't know why. It is pretty obvious, though, considering that instead of reading them yesterday as I had planned, I tried my best to finish a half gallon of Blue Bell. So, I just need to bite the bullet and read about it. I think it might really finally help me change the way I think and get me out of this cycle.
Saturday I got up and I felt really good about my self and my ability to get things done. I somehow slumped that night, though. Maybe brought on because of ole' Aunt Flow, not really sure. That was a really good feeling I had on Saturday, though. I hope I can get to feeling that way most of the time.
