Yesterday and today have been some of my most productive days at work in a long time! I’m accomplishing so much, and I’m not having to force myself to get things done. The past few weeks, I had been writing lists and making myself do at least three things before taking breaks, but it was a horrible struggle, and I was feeling really slow and incompetent. Now, things are so much better! I think knowing the sun won’t be set already when I finish working helps me stay motivated throughout the day. I’m not wasting my only daylight anymore. I also had a minor medication adjustment that just kicked in, and that’s been really helping. No more panic attacks!
Now I just have to watch my mood, and make sure feeling good doesn’t turn into feeling way too good.
Yeah. Back in March of last year, they tried lowering my dose, and I tanked, so they raised it slightly, but still left it lower than I had started. And, as usual, things were great for a month or two, then started getting progressively worse and worse. So now, I’m back on my prior dose and feeling good.
My barber and I were talking about panic attacks one time. She said they are awful. I can’t imagine. Hopefully the med adjustment will keep up its potency.
