Something like an hour and a half sleep last night. I fell asleep about 5:30 a.m., and I awoke at about 7:00 a.m. (times CaST). But I didn't take Seoquel. Yesterday was, I'm quite certain, the most awake I've been in at least a year. It was the first time I hadn't taken Seroquel since I started coming off the Lamictal. Jesus, I've been in a fucking ( Read more... )

Nice photos. I like the frames within frames quality, the layering of square shapes. It's kind of Ozu.

The medicine fog has lifted for me too. I've changed from a SSRI to a MAOI. Very glad now that I researched my diagnosis and medication for myself.

I still have the insomnia fog though. Don't know how much I slept, apart from not much. I no longer have the clock plugged in by the bed. The reason for that was accidental, but I'm picking it might be a good thing.

I suspect, for me, that the insomnia is part of the feedback loop of depression, and if I'm ever going to dig myself out of the hole, I'll have to do meditation and some self help psychotherapy, both things I am very resistant to. Drugs, by themselves, just will not cut it.

It's a nice mild summer here in New Zealand, even if I have been looking out at it through gaps in the curtain sometimes. From what I've read of your situation lately, no thanks, I wont be swapping.

"If I puked up some sonnets, would you call me a miracle?"

Scrolling and sleep-deprived, I read this line as "If I puked up some saints, would you call me a miracle?" Which I also liked.

I love this first one, the mosaic look of the windowlights.
