Chars Life and Times

About two weeks ago, I was feeling really depressed. I was so bad that at times I just wanted to go to my room, shut the door and go to sleep-like all day long. I was tired all day long but couldn’t sleep most of the night. Some days I didn’t even know if I fed the dogs or not. Even my hubby was concerned about me and he pleaded with me to call my psychologist. 

Every year around Thanksgiving and Christmas, I have a hard time getting through the holidays. I know this and try to get by the best way I know how. This year, I evidently did not do a very good job. 
I talked to my psychologist and she made an appointment for me with the psychiatrist. I went to see him and told him what was going on, and he changed my daytime depression medicine and added to my night time medicine so I could sleep at night and feel better during the day. 

I’ve been on this medicine for about a week and a half and I’m afraid I’m going to have to call him back on Tuesday. I’m sleeping great at night, in fact too good. I can sleep 10 hours get up, eat something and then be so sleepy for the next five hours. I am falling asleep in my computer chair and I’m not getting anything done! It seems after the five hours are up, I’m not depressed and feeling much better, but this can’t go on. I thought it would get better because the doctor said to give it two weeks and call him if I wasn’t better. Well, since he is not in on Mondays, I will give him a call on Tuesday and see what can be done.

Such is my life with depression. It seems to never stop.
