I'm going on week 3 of taking Pristiq every other day. It's had a it's good and bad days. Today was one of those bad days. I woke up with a start for some reason, panicky like really bad heartburn. I sat up and got super dizzy. Last time I felt like that I split my toe nail when I ran into the bathroom door... I have no idea how I got ready while feeling so sick, but somehow I made it to work around 8am. I was having hot flashes, nose running, coughing, dizzy and nauseous. It. Was. TERRIBLE. I sucked it up and took an little extra time over lunch to lie down and relax. It helped a little I guess. By 5pm I was feeling well enough for Zumba. Now that I'm home, showered and full of sushi :) I feel meh.
I've been suffering majorly from allergies/cold since this past friday. I've got it all: runny nose, itchy skin, throat on fire, nausea. Bleh. So all that on top of getting off anti-depressants is not my cup of tea.
I can't explain how difficult it has been on my bad days. It feels like it'd be so easy to give up, and go back on them. BUT I have to remember, they don't make me feel that much better. I just need to be strong and be able to handle my anxiety (prescription free). Speaking of that, I haven't taken Xanax in MONTHS :) Woot!
So.....my green thumb kicked in this past weekend! I planted 6 packets of flower seeds, and over 20 daylily plants from our neighbor. I was so covered in dirt/mud/nasties. I loved it! The bugs/spiders aren't out quite yet, so it was lovely :) Can't wait to see stuff start blooming!
I also wanted to bake like crazy. So I made jello. HA. Seriously though. I made delicious peach jello. NOM NOM. OH, and I also made two loaves of 'Starbucks' Lemon Loaf bread. I took one loaf to work, and I think everyone liked it. :)
Anywho. While I'm feeling better, I'm going to go be lazy.
NIGHT BEAUTIFUL WORLD!!
