whether or not to post this for a couple of weeks now. I've been feeling rather depressed and haven't been able to snap out of it. I'm not super depressed-just don't seem to care about much (even Christmas which I love-my tree isn't even up yet and I want to enjoy Christmas). Also, I realize every little thing that either of my difficult children does these days is getting on my nerves; things that I'm usually able to ignore or let go of are very difficult. I'm snapping at them much more than I usually would and have a general lack of patience with them. In addition, other things like traffic, etc... are driving me nuts.
Each day I get up and start with a good attitude but soon I feel completely drained. I finally called my doctor today and asked for an increase in my AD. I tried to beat this feeling with more exercise but even that wasn't helping. I did consider buying a lamp that helps with SAD because even though I've never been diagnosis'd with it I do realize my mood seems to take a dip with the shorter days.
I am really hoping this increase helps as I'm tired of being crabby and tired of not caring, and tired of being tired-most nights I'm asleep by 9:00!!!
So there is my whine-or vent-maybe just talking about it will help. Thanks for listening.
(This must be my day for needing to vent because I posted about each difficult child in general and about me here-sorry if you are getting too much from me in a day-YIKES!!!)
