Day 2
Yesterday started out fine. I felt okay, and was getting things done.
I even decided to do some self-therapy and watch You've got mail :o).
But later in the day I started to feel pretty depressed, and I felt that same tight feeling in my stomach that I'd credited to my anxiety. I'm starting to think its the stomach side-effects many have reported.
The depression was the same as it normally is. Can't make decisions. Staring at a road for ten minutes before making a turn. Crying etc. The difference was that I felt like I could control it- and again I'm entirely sure that this is simply a Placebo effect. My attitude toward my problems has changed because I've made a positive step forward. I was able to be consoled, and I let my husband make me laugh. The point is that I allowed myself to feel better.
Had a wine cooler. Normally I'd drink beer or wine but opted for a lower alcohol. Didn't notice any effect.
I'll probably have something normal this weekend, I just wanted to test the waters. Does anyone have any experience with alcohol and WB?
I fell asleep easy again, and had very vivid dreams. Not scary or unsettling, just very clear and followed a storyline. Normally my dreams are all over the place and I'm not always sure what's going on. But these dreams were like watching a movie.
I didn't wake up as easily this morning. I stayed in bed as long as I could. It is pretty cold today. So I can't say that today I feel the same burst of energy and motivation that I did the first day, but its still early in the process.
