Day 6 and Day 7

Looks like time got away from me a bit, and I haven't posted in two days!

Monday was good. Still not sleeping well at all.I didn't take anything to sleep, not Melatonin or Xanax. And, I didn't sleep any better or worse than usual!
I just relaxed in the morning, and did some chores while we got ready for grandma to get here. She's coming to stay with us and keep me company while everyone else is at work. I woke up around 7, and took my nausea and Pristiq medications as usual. I was able to eat some breakfast. Before I knew it, it was time to go into work.
Work went okay. I didn't feel little spells of nervousness (or as my therapist calls them 'being uncomfortable'), but I got through them. I figure anyone coming back from a sort of break from work would feel a little uncomfortable. I did paperwork and talked with my supervisor most of the 4 hours, and ended the day with an initial client meeting. Little girl needs a lot of help, but the parents seem engaged which is great!
At home I started to get 'uncomfortable'. I went on a walk, and distracted myself with some projects as best I could, but I think I was anxious for grandma to get here. I took a nausea pill to help me eat dinner, and it sort of worked... She got here around 9pm, and we chatted a bit before bed. I've been reading for 20-30 minutes before bed time out on the couch, then going to bed when I'm ready. I didn't take a Melatonin again, since I usually get to bed just fine, it's staying asleep that is NOT good.
-------------------------
Well, I woke up at 11:30pm. Sigh. I was wide awake. I didn't even fight it, took a Xanax and woke back up at 3:30am. I fought it and got up around 7:30am for my Pristiq and Nausea. I woke up anxious, which I haven't really in awhile. I was so frustrated that this feeling was back. I can't pinpoint why I was feeling this way (previous day at work, upcoming day at work, therapy appt??). I fought through it and went to therapy at 10am. We discussed the past 5 days, and how Pristiq was going. Obviously Pristiq is working better than Paxil did. I'm not manic, and brain doesn't feel on fire. But the insomnia is still going strong, now getting really any better. She recommended really sticking to my sleep schedule, doing relaxation exercises before bed, and fighting negative statements my brain seems to come up with.
I left feeling okay, not completely better, but okay. I went home and piddled around until lunch time, then went off to work. I had a busy day, met with five clients in 4 hours. I'd say the day went okay, a little rough. I got home feeling hungry, so I jumped on the opportunity and ate leftovers while I felt like it. Grandma and I decided to walk over to my new house, and didn't leave until 7:20pm. It was a good walk, and Grandma didn't realize how long it was going to take. We didn't get home until 9:15pm. :) We walked 4.4 miles! Grandma was tired, but I'm happy we did it.
I felt wired when we got back, not in a good way. I took a cold bath, trying to cool my body down. I decided to take Benadryl before bed ( I used to for allergies), and stayed up to read a little bit.
