Sometimes a 2hr nap is better than a new prescription
Mood - better
250 mg Seraquel 9pm
I went to my counselling session yesterday and he was worried that I was going to get more manic and had me return this morning to see one of the Dr's cause mine is away. I have been on an upswing since Thursday's sleepless night. Going back through the days I wonder what was my trigger? The Blog? I got notice about my Mum's ashes on Friday.. Hmmm
Anyway this morning I was really knackered, I have to turn in earlier than midnight, I just have to. Especially this week since my Husband is working long hours I am a single parent. I had a bit of anxiety about my appointment because he said the Dr would give me something to help me sleep. MORE than I am already taking? I agreed to take 50 more mg of seraquel to make sure I would sleep but didn't take it cause I was tired anyway and I was worried I would be too sedated to take care of the baby.
We started off the morning ok until she spit up about half a bottle in the bed and then she was crying every time I put her down to do something like pee, make toast. Her crying made me shakey and I could feel those feelings of frustration welling up. So rather than stress out, go to the appointment get more drugs pushed on me and have to go all the way to the other end of my neighbourhood and then go for a nap at Granny's house I phoned and canceled so I could go straight her place.
I actually passed out for 2 hours. It was great. When I woke up I felt I could cope better. Rather than resent my baby for not wanting to nap or sleep in when I wanted she played with Gammy all morning and even napped herself. Thank DOG!
I want to be honest in my treatment but I feel like when I am it just gets me another prescription or this wouldn't happen if you were on lithium. My Mum in law says I am being "non - compliant". I don't recommend this to everyone. I just know that this morning that is what I needed. I am trying to stay on a schedule and take my meds at the same time.
The ball is over at 10pm tonight. I gotta go.
