so the medication I’ve been put on for depression has side effects that are getting to me. The first are dizziness and along with that is nausea. The second is loss of appetite. Since I’ve started taking it the first few hours I feel intoxicated almost, just for the simple fact that I’m so dizzy. So, with being like that I’m nauseated as well. With each day those symptoms are lessening but the lose of appetite is still there and getting worse. I’m honestly VERY happy about that.
I’m not completely clear on whether it’s the side effect causing the loss of appetite or the medication working. Seeing as I’m an emotional eater it’s hard to tell. Either way it’s great because I’m not eating as much which makes me feel better and in turn, makes me happier because I always emotionally beating myself up for eating too much.
If I could just keep things at home straightened out maybe I could be slightly normal again… Or at least for once in my life.
This domesticated shit I’ve been doing lately is actually quite amazing. I can cook, clean, take care of myself and those around me. Moving up in the world? Maybe. I consider myself lucky to see that these small things in life make me feel a little better about myself and my situation. It sounds so stupid but honestly, it’s what keeps me going every day.
