In this case, the time doesn’t matter that much. I say that mostly because this post is written at an extremely late hour. My mood hasn’t been that bad, even when I’ve had periods of frustration. I can thank my medication for that.
I’m still used to expecting swift downward changes in mood. As I close in on the 1-month mark on this medication, I don’t feel that different… aside from the strange energy I get at night. It vanishes as soon as the sun rises, and I find myself feeling very run down.
Insomnia. I’ve been told that insomnia was a side effect. Then again, I was told that stomach problems, seizures, dizziness, anxiety and aggression were also side effects. I’ve had the stomach issues, yes. It’s… uncomfortable. I had stomach problems before, but this is a brand-new level of discomfort. The dizziness… that part I’m not sure of. Of course, my oldest cat will tell you: “No, the human is not evenly on her feet.”
Especially since I nearly stepped on and tripped over her yesterday. I don’t understand it. And yes, I’m disappointed about that. I’m used to being graceful, not this clumsy oaf, who recently has had issues with stairs again. My equilibrium has not been the best for some time, but with the additional medications over less than a year, I’m not handling my limbs well anymore.
I never thought that I would be comfortable blogging about my health, but again – the entire reason I’m doing this is to see how well I am 2 months… 3 or 4 down the line. A year from now? Who knows? I want to think that I’ll read all of my blogs with a befuddled expression.
Will the boosted, elevated moods last? I don’t know.
Somehow in my minimal free time, I’ve started to create little videos for TikTok, but like many things… I’m trying not to be too consistent. There’s a lot that I’m interested in, and I don’t want to put obligations on myself or stretch myself too thin.
Now designing merchandise for my TeeSpring page, yes. I’ll spend time on that. On JLyst Designs (because the name I really wanted was taken), I sell mugs, t-shirts, face masks, accessory bags, tumblers and stickers. I think that’s everything. All of the artwork and/or photographs used on my merchandise are original. Currently, I have a pink flower design that was shot some months ago.
Oh! And a friend of mine wanted me to mention that I have a book. It’s under heavy revision right now (some of my writing is being pushed a bit to the side), but I have dreams where I have it up and online ready for a fresh wave of readers. As a side note, the book is currently live and ready for buyers, however when I initially released it (2013 or 2014), I didn’t take any consideration to editing or quality of content.
I have a lone review that points out the errors (there are many), but also mentions the overall ideas are good.
So, here’s to the first revision… after 7 years.
Oh… My readers are going to dislike me so much. I hope this week I can edit for Navigating the Curve…
Sorry, everyone!
