Yup. Survived 2019. And it wasn't so bad, really. A few bouts of pretty bad Depression. I'm still in kind of a funk, honestly.
Just realized that I haven't written here since November, so it's probably About Damn Time. I STILL have not called my psych NP after
All of these are things that would have been given her blessing--but she likes to be informed. And I did not inform her. Now I'm back to what her charts say I'm taking. Had REALLY BAD HEADACHES throughout winter break and did some poking around and came to the conclusion that my headaches were Depression related. This is not well-researched. I just picked around and found articles like this: Morning Headaches Linked to Depression I also spotted one (that I now can't find) that suggested these Depression headaches were often a problem during holidays and on weekends due to the different stressors that these unscheduled times can have. I got the chance to see most of my family members--all the ones who are in town plus some awesome ones from Indiana. That was nice. I meant to spend some time with friends. Meant to write more. Meant to clean the house. Instead? I didn't bathe, ate one meal a day and binge-read poorly-written teen fiction on Wattpad. Why? No one can say. I have obviously MAJORLY slacked off on my blogging here. I have been writing regularly, though. I've written 2 YA LGBT novels on Wattpad (you can find them under KGBuchanan should you be so inclined). I've been involved (and still am) in some online writing groups. Connecting with other writers is frightening and good and irritating and helpful and no good whatsoever. And now I'm working on a super-hero novel (link below). With another idea in the works for YA slice of life. I'm trying to learn how to use Twitter as an author. Which means I need to think of myself as an author. In between this I'm trying to be a good teacher and good parent and good Quaker. Ha. Mostly I just feel like I'm a little bit drowning and a lot numb. Emotions still not really going anywhere beneath the surface level. I'm gonna stop checking in now. Meds: 300mg lamotrigine 10 mg fluoxetine Comments are closed.
